I have friends who are dual American-Canadian citizens. They certainly can 
vote in federal elections in both countries. US citizens living in Canada 
can vote in US state elections, I gather in the last state they resided 
in (AFAIK).

One considerable drawback to dual nationality is that one could be 
conscripted in both countries, and subject to extraterritorial measures by 
a country in which one has citizenship. This is a problem if one of your 
nationalities is Iranian, or Chinese, etc.

What we need is a tough new kind of feminism with no illusions. ... We
need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the
institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate
and subvert them. -- Barbara Ehrenreich
