Bulgarians abroad call on the Bulgarian authorities to adapt the election rules to the conditions of a pandemic. "The Electoral Code was not created for voting in a pandemic, much less for voting abroad, when the situation in the particular country is also important," Dimitar Ivanov, coordinator of the temporary councils of Bulgarians abroad for holding elections has told the BNR.
Among the problems Ivanov pointed out was the restriction imposed by the Electoral Code for up to 35 polling stations for non-EU countries. The problem arises in countries with a large Bulgarian diaspora, such as the United Kingdom, where about 20,000 Bulgarian citizens traditionally vote, which makes an average of 500-600 people per section, and in London - more than 1,000 people, Mr. Ivanov said.
