“In the 11 December parliamentary elections, voters will elect 330 members of the lower house of parliament and 136 members of the upper house through a fully proportional system. The elections will be conducted under a substantially revised legal framework. Key changes address a number of previous OSCE/ODIHR recommendations and include new provisions on voter and candidate registration, recruitment of polling staff, postal voting for citizens abroad.

Some 609,000 voters are enrolled on the register of citizens abroad, with some 7,000 registering for postal voting.”
