Default Re: Citizenship

There is no restriction on the Dominican side of the equation. For example, a Dominican who is also an American may vote in the U.S. without fear of losing his/her Dominican citizenship. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons for the constitutional amendment of 1994 that allowed Dominicans to acquire another nationality without losing their Dominican citizenship was precisely to allow them to vote in U.S. elections. Before the amendment, many longtime Dominican residents in New York would not apply for naturalization for fear of losing their Dominican citizenship.
