The paper disputes the acceptance of a specific nationality as a traditional requisite for the suffrage. Particular attention is paid to parliamentary elections, because a parliament generally represents the leading state authority. The paper also contents an attempt to formulate alternatives that would replace the nationality as a requisite of the suffrage. They are above all the principle of affected interests and the coercion principle, which also demonstrate the fact that an individual is a part of the political community and therefore should have the right to participate on the government of this political community, even though the suffrage. The paper is based on the authorʼs habilitation lecture.
