Duncan Roberts in the Ara City studio on Monday 18 July Ara City Radio

Ara City Radio’s Monday morning slot featured Tom Clarke and Duncan Roberts talking about the reform of the law allowing non-nationals to vote in local elections.

Breakfast show presenter Tom Clarke welcomed Duncan Roberts into the Ara City Radio studio for the regular Delano’s Top of the Week slot on Monday morning.

The Delano digital editor-in-chief talked about the law passed in parliament last week that does away with the five-year residency requirement for non-nationals to vote in local government elections. Some communes have a non-Luxembourg population of close to 70%.

Duncan also gave a brief explainer on how to register, how the voting system works and said that despite Luxembourg having mandatory voting for anyone on the electoral register, the last time a penalty was issued for anyone failing to vote was in the 1960s.

Duncan then provided listeners with three “what’s on” tips for the coming week including Berlin punk trio , the start of the on Friday, and a of Kamakura restaurant at the Natural History Museum on Sunday.

 Finally, Duncan’s track of the week is Widow by Working Men’s Club, taken from their brand-new album Fear Fear.

Tune in again next week on Monday around 8.30am on  or listen to the podcast on Delano.
