The changes include removing the restriction on the opening of polling stations in non-EU countries, the creation of a new "Abroad" constituency, machine-only voting and a new Central Election Commission. The number of members of the new CEC will have to be reduced to 15 and party quotas will be abolished, BNR reported.
