Citizens wishing to vote abroad in the upcoming presidential elections on October 25, 2026, must submit their applications by September 29. This information was provided by the Central Election Commission (CEC).
Applications can be submitted in two ways: via an electronic form on the official CEC website, or in paper format at Bulgaria's diplomatic and consular missions. The submitted data will be used to include voters in the electoral rolls abroad and to establish the necessary polling stations.
This procedure is important for residents of Burgas and the region living abroad who wish to exercise their right to vote.
This process will make it easier for voters to exercise their right to vote, as they will no longer need to fill out a standard declaration on election day itself. By a decision of the commission, the specific locations in various countries and the number of polling stations to be created in each will be determined by October 3, 2026.
