Expatriate voting

Greeks and other Europeans are deeply curious about the November 5 US elections. Most of them recognize that the outcome of these elections will affect their country and themselves personally. Many of them say they wish the international community had a vote.

For the first time postal voting for Greeks - Polling stations at a total of 18,380 polling stations across the country open at 7am and close at 7pm

On Sunday, 9,796,330 Greek citizens will be eligible to vote in the elections for the European Parliament.

Greece elects 21 MEPs in the 720-member Parliament.

A total of 18,380 polling stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voting hours may be extended in individual stations if there is a waiting line at closing time.

6,593,275 Bulgarian citizens are eligible to vote in the upcoming early parliamentary elections, while 6,138,050 are entitled to participate in the European Parliament elections. The variation in numbers stems from the specific requirements for each election.

The Foreign Ministry will move amendments to election legislation to introduce expatriate voting by postal mail in Bulgarian political elections, require advance registration of Bulgarians willing to vote abroad, and set up an overseas constituency election commission, Foreign Minister Svetlan Stoev told a briefing on Friday.
