From today, Bulgarians abroad can submit electronic applications for voting

From today until May 14, it will be possible to submit an electronic application for voting outside the country. This was announced by the press center of the Central Election Commission (CEC).

Bulgarian citizens will be able to do this from 12:00 Bulgarian time on April 23 on the CEC website. The deadline for submitting applications expires at midnight Bulgarian time on May 14, 2024.

A few days ago, the CEC announced in its decision that Bulgarian citizens can submit applications for voting outside the country for both types of elections – for the European Parliament and the National Assembly, which will take place on June 9.

The application can be signed by hand and submitted in person to the diplomatic or consular representation of Bulgaria in the respective country, but it can be sent by letter by post or by courier service to the diplomatic or consular representation.

There can be more than one application in one letter, but only one person can be entered in each application or it can be submitted electronically through the website of the Central Election Commission.

In the application, the voter writes in Cyrillic his name on his passport, military card or identity card, his social security number and his permanent address in Bulgaria. He also enters his current address or residential address, as well as the place outside the country where he wishes to vote.
