If I haven't surrendered my citizenship, I still have the right to vote, at

You won't attend the conference, won't pay the conference fees, yet you
still want the benefits of the conference? There are so many other member

to vote is nice, but isn't that like living in another country and wanting
to vote in the place you left?? Just asking...
