The enfranchised Romanians domiciled or residing abroad who wish to exercise their right to vote by mail in the parliamentary election can register, no later than October 22, on the platform www.votstrainatate.ro.
By registering as a mail-in voter, the enfranchised Romanian who lives abroad and holds valid residence documents from the respective state, requests that the voting documents be mailed to his correspondence address; he is consequently moved for this election from the permanent electoral roll in Romania to the permanent electoral roll for mail-in vote.
Out-of-country Romanians will vote in the general election on December 5 and 6.
