As of May 25, there will be 568 polling stations in 67 foreign countries for Bulgaria’s July early parliamentary elections, the Foreign Ministry said.
According to the analysis of the ministry, voting machines will be used at about 300 of these polling stations, in 24 countries.
A decision by the Central Election Commission in regard to this is awaited.
The short-lived 45
th National Assembly voted amendments to the Electoral Code, including that at polling stations where more than 300 voters are registered, there must be machine voting. These amendments, as The Sofia Globe reported on April 29, also make it easier to request opening of a polling station abroad.
