As Portugal prepares to go to the polls on 24 January to vote in the Presidential elections, new measures to help the most vulnerable to cast their vote have been put in place.
At the Centro Popular de Lagoa nursing home, smiles were seen through the windows of those who were exercising their right of vote. This new initiative to promote early voting in nursing homes is a new way of voting without leaving home for residents in nursing homes or for those who are infected and, as a consequence, can’t leave their houses.
