Nearly 23,500 Slovaks resident in Czechia vote in Slovak elections

Nearly 23,500 Slovaks resident in Czechia voted in Slovakia’s general elections by mail, officials in Bratislava reported. The deadline for voting was noon on Friday, the day before people in Slovakia itself went to the ballot boxes in a closely watched vote.

A record 58,779 people have taken part in Slovakia's elections from other abroad by mail.

Czechia does not allow for postal voting but unlike Slovakia it does allow its citizens to vote at its diplomatic missions abroad.
