More than 16,000 Bulgarians have submitted applications to vote abroad in the 2 October snap elections, as the number of applications in Turkey has exceeded 10,000. Bulgaria has so far obtained the consent of 48 countries to hold the parliamentary elections on their territory. The authorities of the Czech Rebublic have not consented to opening polling stations outside the Bulgarian Embassy in Prague. On this occasion, Ivan Kondov, Permanent Secretary of Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that an option was being sought to open three polling stations in the embassy. He urged the Bulgarian citizens to submit as many applications as possible in order to facilitate and speed up the voting process. In addition, after the abolition of the law on emergency measures against the coronavirus pandemic, voters will not be able to cast their ballot with expired identity documents.
There are no plans for opening polling stations in Ukraine. At this stage, the country has not received permission to open its Consulate General in Odessa, but the caretaker government has started a procedure to resume the work of our diplomatic representation in Kyiv, said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Kostadin Kodzhabashev. If the conditions are right, the first diplomatic team will leave in the beginning of September and the second group will leave at the end of next month.
