Bulgaria’s Ombudsman Maya Manolova sent to National Assembly President Tsetska Tsacheva a letter of proposals regarding amendments and supplements to the Election Code. The Bulgarians living abroad demanded such amendments, so that the National Assembly restores the alleviated voting conditions which existed in 2014 and 2015. Maya Manolova proposed the establishment of a multi-mandate Overseas Electoral District. Other proposals are linked with the opening of polling stations in places, where a minimum of 100 citizens living abroad cast their votes on previous elections, as well as with the opening of polling stations outside the diplomatic representations, when at least 40 Bulgarians fill in voting applications.
