Podgorean: Foreign Ministry's decision on number of polling stations abroad relied on analysis of 2009 presidential election

The Foreign Ministry's decision on establishing the polling stations abroad was based on the analysis of the way the 2009 presidential election unfolded, as well as on the proposals made by the Romanian diplomatic missions, Secretary of State with the Foreign Affairs Ministry Radu Podgorean explained in a release this Saturday to AGERPRES.

"This analysis showed that the maximum number of voters was recorded in 2009 and at the following ballots, although a higher number of polling places was ensured, the number of voters witnessed a decrease. Under these circumstances, the Foreign Ministry proposed that the same number of polling stations be organised this year as in 2009," Podgorean reveals.
