This is a person who can vote in Slovakian elections, and through those elections vote for their EU representatives, but is too lazy to.

You may have missed this, because it is buried under a ton of verbiage that makes this tiny number of nonvoters like a social problem. So when this person says:

> [D]espite strong attachment to the European Union, mobile Europeans are less likely to participate in European elections [...] because each member state has different procedures, deadlines, and often inadequate public information.

They are obscuring the fact that the only rules that they need to know are Slovakian rules, and that they don't bother.

> I also repeatedly missed the deadlines to apply for postal votes in Slovakia.

Ideal person not to be voting. Really thinks that wealthy Slovaks living in the Netherlands have something important to say about Brexit (populism bad!), and that people who are too lazy to vote in European elections can lecture anyone else about the utility of the EU. Such a coddled class.

Yeah always a victim. When you can't vote because you forget the deadline… you won't be able to vote anywhere.
