Share:
Slovakia's parliament moved legislation to its second reading that would fundamentally change how Slovak citizens living abroad can vote in elections. The bill, proposed by the ruling Smer-SD party, aims to eliminate postal voting for overseas Slovaks, representing a significant shift in voting procedures for the diaspora. The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, discussed the electoral law amendments during Tuesday's session alongside debates on the state of public finances. The proposed changes would affect hundreds of thousands of Slovak citizens residing in other countries who currently rely on postal ballots to participate in domestic elections.
