The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is proposing postal voting for Bulgarians abroad after active voter registration, Foreign Minister Svetlan Stoev announced. Setting up a designated constituency for Bulgarians abroad is also part of the proposal.
900-1,000 polling stations are expected to open outside Bulgaria for the presidential elections in the autumn.
