Romanian Permanent Electoral Authority has launched, on 9 July, an online platform where Romanians living abroad who desire to vote in the presidential elections in November can pre-register. Dedicated site will become active once the Head of State will promulgate the new electoral law.
RRA Reporter Petruta Obrejan: "Votstrainatate.ro is the online platform that offers Romanians in the diaspora two options to participate in the presidential elections of November 10 and November 24, so that they will no longer have to spend hours in queues or lose their constitutional right to vote. Romanians from abroad will be able to opt for a preliminary registration, either for a particular polling station or for the correspondence vote.
According to the President of the Permanent Electoral Authority, Florin Buică, the site will be operational as soon as the Head of State, Klaus Iohannis, promulgates the law amending and completing some normative acts in reference to the electoral law.
Florin Buică: "All the information that we will receive and enter into the permanent electoral list, either for the polling station or for the correspondence vote, will not be in the records of the local public administration in the electoral register, they will be radiated from the permanent electoral list in Romania and will be included in the permanent electoral list from abroad, for the polling station or for the correspondence vote".
