Almost two-thirds of Bulgarians, or 63.9 percent, say that Bulgarians who have gone to live abroad for economic reasons have the right to vote for Bulgarian institutions because they bring money into the country, a Gallup International survey indicates.

Around one-third – 33.4 percent – state that Bulgarians living abroad for economic reasons should not have the right to vote because their choice affects the people living in Bulgaria. On the other hand 61.2 percent of the respondents support the idea of depriving Bulgarian citizens living in Turkey of the right to vote in Bulgarian elections altogether. 63.5 percent say that after the referendum in Turkey, there exists a danger to Bulgaria; 30.9 percent uphold the opposite view.
