From the Bulgarian embassy in London made the decision for the sections based on four main criteria: number of applications submitted to vote, number of documents submitted according to resolution by regions, geographic distribution and number of voters in previous elections, BGNES reported.

Not all Bulgarians were satisfied, because some will have to travel longer to the approved sections, but in general they are chosen so that all citizens can reach them within an hour.

As for our compatriots in Moassac, they can vote in the nearest section in Toulouse. This was announced by the Foreign Ministry.

The Central Electoral Commission informed us by letter about the decision to close the electoral college in Moasac, France and not to start the election day after the categorical ban from the local prefecture, announced yesterday at the last minute.

According to our embassy in Paris, the closest electoral college where our compatriots in Moasac could vote is in Toulouse. It is located at: La Chapelle Saint-Michel 18, GrandeRue Saint Michel, 31400 Toulouse.

Last night, the president of the sectional electoral commission in Moassac was sanctioned by the prefecture to hold elections, explained by the strict measures against the coronavirus ”.

According to diplomatic and consular missions abroad, all other polling stations abroad have opened or are about to open.

Election day for Bulgarians in Turkey began with tension, chaos and scandals. Long lines formed in the Avcilar district of Istanbul due to the declarations that every voter must fill out. According to the plan, this would be done online. On Sunday morning, however, the commission decided that those who did not fill out the document beforehand should do so on the spot, but outside the section. Then the defenders arrived at the scene and a new meeting of the commission was called. The exact opposite decision was made: the statements will be completed within the section itself, BNR reported.

This caused chaos, delays, and queues, and maintaining physical distance became nearly impossible due to the crowds. Many suspected that this was being done to prevent them from voting.

“The queues in Munich are more than 300 meters long, people wait more than an hour, an hour and a half,” Preslava Kostova, an observer from the Institute for Public Environment Development, told BNR.

“There are three sections here in Munich and the queues are quite large, and the turnout is very high, because I have been an observer for 8 years. There are 400 people who have already voted in each of the sections,” he added. .
