The Romanian
\nForeign Ministry has published the list and interactive map of the 835 voting
\npolls created abroad for the presidential election of November 10 and the
\nrunoff on November 24. The number is almost three times compared to the
\nprevious presidential election of 2014. The good functioning of a record
\nnumber of voting polls abroad and the organization of the election over the
\ncourse of three days for each round of the election, will involve a close
\ncooperation between partner institutions, the Permanent Election Authority and
\nthe Special Telecommunications Service, and the representatives of political
\nparties and communities of Romanians delegated to voting polls abroad, a
\nMinistry release reads. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most polls will be opened in Spain (143), Italy (142),
\nGermany (80), Great Britain (72), France (50), the United States (38), the
\nRepublic of Moldova (37), the Netherlands (25), Belgium (23), Ireland (16),
\nDenmark (12), Austria (17), Greece (11), Portugal (9) and Switzerland (8).
\nOverall, 639 polls will be opened in EU Member States. Additionally, the
\nForeign Ministry states that, apart from polls created in theatres of operation
\nin Afghanistan, a voting poll will be opened this year in Mali, created
\nespecially for the Romanian military taking part in the UN peacekeeping mission
\nto this country. We recall that a total of 294 voting polls were opened abroad
\nfor the presidential election of 2014, and some 417 for the European Parliament
\nelection of 2016. This year, at the European Parliament election of May, Romanians
\nliving abroad could vote in one of the 441 voting polls. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The voting process
\nwill be held over the course of three days abroad, namely over November 8-10
\nfor the first round and November 22-24 for the runoff, between 12 – 9 PM local
\ntime on Friday, and between 7 AM and 9 PM local time on Saturday and Sunday.
\nAll voters who are still in line either inside or outside polling stations at 9
\nPM will be able to cast their votes by midnight.<\/p>\n
