Moldovan elections: Russia-based citizens given minimal chance to vote

Moldovan elections: Russia-based citizens given minimal chance to vote By 19:30 local time - just over two hours before polls close - only 7,000 citizens had been able to vote in Moscow, a source at the Moldovan embassy told RT. Just two polling stations were opened in the Russian capital as crowds desperate to have their say remain outside the Moldovan embassy, where only 10,000 ballots were printed to cater for over 500,000 Moldovans resident in Russia despite it being the largest overseas Moldovan diaspora. By contrast, around 200 were opened in Western Europe, including 60 in Italy, 26 in Germany and 18 in France. According to the Moldovan Central Election Commission, more than 198,000 citizens abroad have voted. #Moldova #Russia - Boost Source: RT News
