Big interest abroad in Bulgarian parliamentary elections

A record number of applications for voting abroad have been filed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the web site of the Central Electoral Committee.

Sources from the latter informed that the applications have reached 82 thousand, some 74% or which are from Turkey and the EU. In Australia and other countries where there are large Bulgarian communities, the applications are around 21 thousand. In the last few days the number of settlements abroad where the Bulgarians would be able to vote in the early general elections on May 12 has considerably grown, reaching 166.
