Today is the deadline for forming polling stations with orders from the heads of diplomatic and consular missions around the world and this deadline will be respected, Tsvetozar Tomov of the CEC said at a briefing. 

719 stations in 57 countries will be opened for voting. A total of 30,689 voting applications were submitted by Bulgarians abroad - fewer than in the previous elections. According to Tomov, this is due to the low voter turnout both in the country and abroad. In many places, stations could not be opened because no more than 100 people applied to vote. 

Due to the deteriorating security situation in Israel and Lebanon, there will be no stations in Tel Aviv and Beirut, as there are no conditions to ensure the security of Bulgarian voters in these two places.
