Georgian voters abroad can vote in 39 countries at 55 polling stations in the presidential runoff election today.
Out-of-country voters can cast their vote from 8 a.m. to midnight.
Only 52 of the stations are currently open because of time differences as of 5 pm.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that there have been no ‘excesses’ at any voting station abroad.

14,808 eligible voters are registered abroad.
The first round of elections took place on 28 October, however neither candidate was able to receive more than half of the votes in order to be elected and thus a second round was scheduled.
