Can he? In general, can/do popes vote in their home countries?

Argentina is the country whose citizenship you cannot legally lose (though dual citizenship is permitted), and they have mandatory* voting. So the Pope is still a citizen of Argentina and did vote or faced charges. I don't think they allow exceptions.

* Edit: Not quite true. See replies.

Correction, voting is mandatory only for people who live in Argentina, if you live on another country voting is optional. Source: I'm an Argentinian who lives in another country.

But are you the Pope?

Oh shit. Are you?

I've got this.

OP, how do you feel about defecating in an arboreal setting?

I’m for it

Welcome to the big ARE YOU ACTUALLY THE POPE quiz!

Are you an Argentinian living abroad?
Do you regularly wear weird head gear?
When visiting a new city. Does your Uber have a large glass cage instead of a rear compartment?
Do strangers keep asking you to hold their children?
Do you have a strange urge to poop when you are near forests?

If you can answer yes to all of the above, you should find the nearest cardinal and observe how you are addressed.

He’s just tweeting at me. What does it mean??

I do know for a fact that the Pope has someone working at the Vatican who is precisely the kind of nerd that might be on this site. The Pope himself...probably not.
