Elections in Kópavogur | Voting rights for residents with a foreign background

Bókasafn Kópavogs

Interested in the upcoming municipal elections in Kópavogur?

Join us for an open meeting held in English, where you can learn about your voting rights as city residents with a foreign background and meet representatives from electoral lists running in the 2026 Kópavogur elections.

👉 kl. 16:00 – Practical information about voting, rules & ballots

👉 kl.16:30 – 18:00 – Candidates introduce themselves & questions from the audience

 Facilitators: Marion Poilvez & Iryna Yakunina, W.O.M.E.N. volunteers.

Location: Kópavogur library

Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender.

Only 18,6% of immigrants used their right to vote in the last municipal elections. We want to change that! Remember: you are eligible to vote after 3 years of registered legal domicile in Iceland.

W.O.M.E.N. sem kjósa / W.O.M.E.N. who vote is a migrant women-led project – supported by Kvenréttindafélag Íslands – that aims at sharing information about city elections all over the country, facilitating spaces of discussion, and empowering women and all voters of foreign background to make an informed choice on the 16th of May 2026.

We are feminists. We are migrants. We are city residents. We do not support a specific political party. We support your vote.
