More than 90 thousand voters registered before 12:00 this Monday to vote in advance in mobility for the March 3 legislative elections, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI) said.
“The number of registered voters for early mobile voting for the 2024 legislative elections is 93,602 registered voters nationwide as of 12:00 p.m. this Monday,” the MAI said in a statement.
Registered voters nationwide can register until Thursday to vote mobile next Sunday, a week before legislative elections scheduled for March 10.
In this case, voters register at the polling station of their choice in the municipality on the mainland or in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira, electronically at www.votoantecipado.mai.gov.pt or by mail sent to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of the Interior.
If a voter is registered to vote via mobility but is unable to exercise that right on the designated date, March 3, he or she will be able to vote on Legislative Election Day, March 10, at the polling place or precinct where he or she is registered.
The early mobile voting method, created after the entry into force of Organic Law No. 3/218 on the occasion of the elections of Portuguese deputies to the European Parliament in 2019, was chosen by 285,848 in the 2022 legislative elections.
In the 2019 European elections, 13,455 voters cast their ballots via mobility, a number that increased to 50,638 in that year’s legislative elections and 197,903 in the 2021 presidential elections, held during the Covid-19 pandemic.
