On 5 October, a new meeting of the Cross-Party Group of MEPs was held in Strasbourg, organised by the ECIT Foundation, initiator of the European Citizens’ Initiative Voters Without Borders (VWB), with the support of a number of external speakers who are experts on voting rights and campaigning.

The main objectives of this meeting were to discuss the presentation made to the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament (PETI) on 8 September 2022 by Suzana Carp (ECIT Board) and Martina Rubino (ECIT Youth Taskforce) on the ECI, its achievements and its future, and also to discuss the next steps that the MEPs can take in the coming months concerning the main topics of voting rights and European citizenship.
