Lithuania’s Central Electoral Commission (VRK) has started registering voters who want to vote abroad in next year’s elections.
All voters who wish to vote abroad by post or in person at Lithuania’s diplomatic missions can register on rinkejopuslapis.lt, the VRK said on Tuesday.
“For the convenience of voters, the key new thing is the possibility to register to vote for all elections and referendums to be held next year at once,” it said.
Not only Lithuanian citizens who permanently reside or study abroad but also those who will be temporarily away during the election period, for example on holiday or for work, will be able to vote.
If a voter was previously included in the list of voters abroad, they will have to register again to vote in the 2024 elections, the VRK said.
In the registration application, voters need to indicate the foreign country they are living or temporarily staying in and enter an address. The form will also ask voters to choose how they wish to vote: by post or by turning up at a diplomatic mission in person.
If voters wished to vote by post, they should enter the address of their permanent or temporary place of residence in the foreign country and provide other contact details.
Next year, Lithuania will hold the presidential election and a referendum on dual citizenship on May 12, the European Parliament election on June 9, and the parliamentary election on October 13.
