This paper explores the complex interplay between migration and elections, focusing on the political mobilization and voting behavior of Turkish postmigrants in Germany. Through two qualitative studies, we aim to provide insights into how citizenship status and transnational identities influence electoral participation and political preferences in both countries of origin and residence. The transnational dynamics of political preferences and engagements of postmigrants provide a deeper understanding of how migration influences political landscapes, offering valuable perspectives for fostering inclusive democratic practices. We believe this paper can be beneficial for researchers, policymakers, and political scientists interested in migration studies, electoral behavior, and transnational citizenship, as well as for those focusing on European, German and Turkish political dynamics.
