Council Directive 93/109/EC of 6 December 1993 laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
Article 9
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to enable a Community voter who has expressed the wish for such to be entered on the electoral roll sufficiently in advance of polling day. 2. In order to have his name entered on the electoral roll, a Community voter shall produce the same documents as a voter who is a national. He shall also produce a formal declaration stating: (a) his nationality and his address in the electoral territory of the Member State of residence; (b) where applicable, the locality or constituency in his home Member State on the electoral roll of which his name was last entered, and (c) that he will exercise his right to vote in the Member State of residence only. 3. The Member State of residence may also require a Community voter to: (a) state in his declaration under paragraph 2 that he has not been deprived of the right to vote in his home Member State; (b) produce a valid identity document, and (c) indicate the date from which he has been resident in that State or in another Member State. 4. Community voters who have been entered on the electoral roll shall remain thereon, under the same conditions as voters who are nationals, until such time as they request to be removed or until such time as they are removed automatically because they no longer satisfy the requirements for exercising the right to vote.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
