In this context, the Commission announces that it has notified the Intelligence and Security Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to verify the authenticity of the data from the pre-registration applications, submitted both in written form and online.

We remind you that the pre-registration results, the information on the number of voters who participated in elections organised in the national electoral district, as well as the information obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration from the competent authorities of the countries of residence represent the basic criteria underpinning the decision on organising the opening of polling stations abroad.
