description	Este articulo aborda las perspectivas de permitir a los jamaiquinos residentes en el extranjero votar en las elecciones de su país de origen. Esta cuestión ha surgido en dos frentes: en el contexto nacional y en el discurso académico y político internacional. El Pacto Internacional de Derechos Civiles y Políticos (PIDCP) afirma el derecho de los ciudadanos “a elegir y ser elegidos en elecciones auténticas y periódicas”. En debates recientes se ha cuestionado la aplicación de estos derechos en Jamaica. En ese sentido, esta investigación indaga si los ciudadanos jamaiquinos residentes en el extranjero tienen derecho a votar en las elecciones de Jamaica desde el extranjero y, en caso afirmativo, en que condiciones lo pueden hacer. A nivel nacional, desde la diaspora se han hecho llamados a los dos principales partidos políticos, el Partido Laborista de Jamaica (JLP) y el Partido Nacional del Pueblo (PNP), para que permitan el derecho de voto a los jamaiquinos residentes en el extranjero. Las respuestas a estas demandas se han reflejado en diversas políticas nacionales. Un aspecto central de estos debates es si el derecho al voto, consagrado en el PIDCP y en varias constituciones nacionales, se extiende más allá de las fronteras. Este articulo examina críticamente la viabilidad de implantar el voto en el extranjero como opción política para Jamaica. La investigación aborda cuestiones de soberanía, ciudadanía y el papel y los derechos de la diaspora en las relaciones internacionales contemporáneas.

This issue has surfaced on two fronts: within the national context and in international academic and policymaking discourse. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) affirms the right of citizens “to vote and to be elected at genuine and periodic elections.” Recent discussions have questioned the application of these rights in Jamaica. This research investigates whether Jamaican citizens living overseas have the right to vote in Jamaican elections from abroad, and if so, under what conditions. Nationally, there have been calls from the diaspora for both major political parties, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People’s National Party (PNP), to allow voting rights for Jamaicans living abroad. The responses to these demands have been reflected in various national policies. Central to these discussions is whether the right to vote, as enshrined in the ICCPR and various national constitutions, extends beyond borders. This article critically examines the feasibility of implementing overseas voting as a policy option for Jamaica. The research addresses issues of sovereignty, citizenship, and the role and rights of the diaspora in contemporary international relations.application/pdftext/html10.18601/16578651.n36.082346-21591657-8651https://bdigital.uexternado.edu.co/handle/001/25309https://doi.org/10.18601/16578651.n36.08spaFacultad de Finanzas, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/opera/article/download/9979/17741https://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/opera/article/download/9979/17742Núm. 36 , Año 2025 : Enero-Junio17436153OperaA time to shift gears (2006, May 7).
