Historically, the highest number of people have applied to vote by post from abroad. Almost 73,000 citizens will vote from abroad in the September elections. Over three thousand people have already voted. Prime Minister Ludovit Odor, who is in charge of the Ministry of the Interior, made the announcement at a press conference. The registrations came from 131 countries around the world. Most of the applicants came from the Czech Republic. But Slovaks from Madagascar, Greenland and Zimbabwe are also interested in voting. A total of 18 district commissions will be established. Tomas Oparty, state secretary at the Ministry of the Interior, has called on political parties running in the elections to nominate their representatives to the commissions. The deadline is 21 August. Early parliamentary elections will be held on 30 September.
