More than 50 800 Bulgarians have submitted applications to vote abroad in the October 2 snap election, the Central Election Commission said. 26,000 applications were submitted in Turkey. 4,900 Bulgarians in Great Britain, 4,400 in Germany and 2,300 in the United States have submitted applications for voting abroad. The number of polling stations abroad is expected to be similar to the number of polling stations at the previous elections, the commission's Spokesman Tsvetozar Tomov told the BNR. 

In November 2022, there were 750 polling stations in 68 countries. "There will be voting machines in all polling stations where the number of voters in previous elections exceeded 300. We are talking about nearly 300 polling stations," Tsvetozar Tomov said.
