“This is one of the most important elections of our lives”: Temido has already voted and called on the Portuguese to take part
The head of the PS list for Europeans, Marta Temido, said today she hopes it will be a “Sunday of broad participation” in what she considers the “most important” election, reiterating that Portuguese can vote in “any polling station”.
More than 1,500 Portuguese have already voted in Brussels.
For the first time, all Portuguese can vote anywhere in the world in these European elections without prior notice. For example, if a voter is from Porto and is on holiday or working in Brussels, simply go to the Portuguese Embassy in the Belgian capital.
Until this morning, 1,512 Portuguese had already voted at the embassy in Brussels. Only 634 people voted in advance.
According to official data, according to which CM had access, a total of 903 citizens registered in Portugal voted.
