The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its gratitude to the Bulgarian communities abroad for their assistance in organizing the vote abroad, which guaranteed the constitutional right to vote of Bulgarian citizens around the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs highly appreciates the civic activity and initiative of our compatriots abroad, who have contributed to creating the best possible conditions for holding fair and transparent elections four times this year, including the second round of voting for president and vice president.
In the elections of November 14-21, 2021, our compatriots had the opportunity to vote in 68 countries. More than 2,500 PEC members abroad were nominated by the Bulgarian communities for the presidential and vice-presidential and National Assembly elections on 14 November 2021 and the subsequent second round of the presidential elections. More than 200 representatives of the Bulgarian communities were nominated as members of the PEC in their capacity as representatives of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Thanks to their efforts, urgent replacements of members of sectional election commissions were successfully carried out, and premises for 749 polling stations on all continents were provided and equipped.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is confident that the established valuable partnership with the Bulgarian communities will continue in the future to protect Bulgarian interests abroad and uphold the good name of Bulgaria around the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also thanked the employees of the Ministry in our country and in our foreign missions, our logistics partners, as well as other Bulgarian institutions, actively involved in providing their representatives or technical means for organizing the vote abroad.
