“Moreover, already after preparations for out-of-country voting had been initiated, parliament repealed it for parliamentary elections, effectively disenfranchising some 150,000 citizens living abroad.”
“Voters who wished to vote abroad had to apply to diplomatic missions from 1 to 20 May. Whereas in previous presidential elections citizens were required to apply in person, for this election they could also apply online. Some 7,209 citizens registered for out-of-country voting.”
