<div id="ygrps-yiv-484374623">In Massachusetts you cannot vote in town elections or participate in <br/>
town meetings (the official form of government in many towns) unless <br/>
you are a registered voter, which requires US citizenship.  Some of <br/>
my neighbors are foreign nationals and own their houses, but cannot <br/>
vote.  I don&#39;t know about other states.<br/>

&gt; What about if you don&#39;t live there but you own a house there? <br/>
Surely a <br/>

him <br/>

&gt; Also, how many of the EU countries allow dual nationality?<br/>
