Controversies related to the voting bulletins for the diaspora. MAE reaction

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) reports that 3,600,000 ballots have already reached the abroad sections and is ‘statistically impossible’ to be exhausted.

The ministry argues that if exceptionally and unprecedented in the last elections a section from abroad would risk being left without bulletins, it can request, with the agreement of the Electoral Bureau for abroad, the redistribution of bulletins from less requested sections.

‘Any statements regarding potential insufficiency of voting bulletins abroad are false and represent an attempt to handle voters. There are sufficient bulletins’, stresses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Gold states that the number of ballots for the presidential elections in the Diaspora sections is ‘insufficient’ compared to the large flow of voters and asks the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) and the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) to take measures to supplement them.

‘According to the signals received from the Romanians in the Diaspora, but also from the gold members from abroad, there is an insufficient number of ballots compared to the large flow of voters (…). We urgently ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Permanent Electoral Authority and the Central Electoral Bureau to take measures to supplement the ballots in all the sections of the Diaspora, so that each Romanian with voting rights outside the country’s borders can vote ‘, says gold on Wednesday, in a press release.
