Number of Georgians living abroad who want to vote increasing, MFA says

The number of Georgians who have registered at Georgian embassies and consulates abroad in order to vote during the presidential election has reached 1,400, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said today.

The ministry once again called on Georgians abroad who have not applied for registration to do so in order to be included on voters lists.

Georgians living abroad are recommended to read the rules of registration at the webpage of the MFA, as well as get in touch with consulates by phone. They can also fill in the application online.

In order to be able to vote during the elections, Georgians living abroad are required to have a consular registration. After registration they are allowed to vote only at the polling station where they have previously registered.

The second round of Georgia’s presidential elections will be held abroad at 55 polling stations in 39 countries.
