465 polling stations have been opened in 69 countries for the forthcoming Parliamentary elections in Bulgaria on April 4.

9 polling stations were set up in Vienna, but Bulgarians in Austria will be able to vote in 5 other towns, announced for the Bulgarian National Rado Ognyan Atanasov. 69 polling stations were set up in 51 towns in Germany. Almost 390,000 Bulgarian nationals live in this country, informed Katya Kostova. According to Zhana Staleva, Bulgarians in Great Britain are highly motivated to vote at the upcoming general elections. However, they are facing big impediments- there are not enough polling stations and the authorities adopted stringent containment measures because of the Covid-19 pandemic. There were more than 50 polling stations in the UK during prevous elections. However, only 35 polling stations were opened this year, because the United Kingdom is not part of the European Union anymore.

Many polling stations abroad were set up thanks to the cooperation between the Bulgarian embassies, consulates general and the Bulgarian community.
