The Romanian Postal Service has reported the arrival of the first ballots from Romanian citizens living abroad, who are participating in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for November 24 and December 1, 2024. This initiative supports the continued effort to enable voting by mail for Romanians residing outside the country, in accordance with agreements with the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) and existing legislation.
The postal service has so far recorded 184 envelopes containing votes from Romanian expatriates. These votes originated from several countries, including Hungary, Greece, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, France, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland. The ability for Romanians abroad to cast their votes in this manner underscores the commitment to facilitating an accessible and democratic election process.

For the presidential elections, over 6,000 pieces of postal mail have been dispatched to cover both rounds of voting. Similarly, for the parliamentary elections—concerning both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies—an estimated 6,000 envelopes have been sent containing the necessary documents for voting by correspondence.
The initiative is part of Poșta Română's pledge to ensure an effective and transparent electoral process for all Romanian citizens opting for postal voting. The company has prioritized this process, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of each vote, while also reaffirming its determination to provide citizens with access to democratic participation.
According to AEP President Toni Greblă, more than 6,700 Romanians living abroad have requested to vote by correspondence in the presidential elections, marking them as validated voters. These votes are required to reach Romania by November 21 to be counted.
