<p>The G markings placed against EU citizens on the electoral register denotes their
eligibility to vote at local and Assembly elections. The K marking denotes an EU citizen
who has confirmed that they intend to vote in Northern Ireland, rather than their
home state, at a specific European Parliamentary election. The K designation only
lasts for one year and consequently there are currently no individuals with a K marking
on the Northern Ireland register.</p><p> </p><p>UK, Irish and Commonwealth citizens
are eligible to register to vote in UK General Parliamentary Elections. Citizens of
EU countries other than the UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta (the latter of which are
Commonwealth as well as EU countries) cannot vote in UK General Parliamentary Elections,
although they can register to vote at local government, and Northern Ireland Assembly
elections.</p><p> </p><p>The number of EU nationals, other than Irish, Cypriot, Maltese
and UK citizens, on the electoral register are shown below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Constituency</strong></p></td><td><p>EU
