Institute for Public Policies: One million Romanians abroad will not be able to vote

The Institute for Public Policies in Bucharest gave an alarm on the fact that at least 10% of the Romanian electors will not be able to vote on November 30. The situation refers mostly to Romanians who will not be in their electoral districts.

Most problems are with the students, the military personnel and the Romanians working or studying abroad who didn’t obtain the proper papers in the host – countries. The number of persons who do not fulfill the necessary conditions to vote is around one million, a press release of the institute indicates.

According to the Romanian law, floating visas are not enough for electors to vote in their residence cities, instead they must travel to their legal place of residence.
