40 artikla - Äänioikeus ja vaalikelpoisuus kunnallisvaaleissa

Jokaisella unionin kansalaisella on äänioikeus ja vaalikelpoisuus kunnallisvaaleissa siinä jäsenvaltiossa, jossa hän asuu, samoin edellytyksin kuin kyseisen jäsenvaltion omilla kansalaisilla.

    Artikla vastaa Euroopan unionin toiminnasta tehdyn sopimuksen 20 artiklan 2 kohdassa turvattua oikeutta (ks. myös Euroopan unionin toiminnasta tehdyn sopimuksen 22 artiklassa oleva oikeusperusta kyseisen oikeuden käyttämistä koskevien yksityiskohtaisten järjestelyjen hyväksymiseksi). Sitä sovelletaan perusoikeuskirjan 52 artiklan 2 kohdan mukaisesti näissä perussopimusten artikloissa määrätyin edellytyksin.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Nämä selitykset on alun perin laatinut Euroopan unionin perusoikeuskirjan valmistelukunnan puheenjohtajisto. Eurooppa-valmistelukunnan puheenjohtajisto on saattanut ne ajan tasalle tämän valmistelukunnan perusoikeuskirjaan tekemien tekstimuutosten (erityisesti 51 ja 52 artikla) ja unionin oikeuden myöhemmän kehittymisen perusteella. Vaikka niillä ei sellaisenaan ole oikeudellista merkitystä, ne ovat arvokas tulkinnan väline, jonka tarkoituksena on selventää perusoikeuskirjan määräyksiä.
