Romanian nationals who are registered on the lists from another EU state, irrespective whether they vote or not on these lists, will no longer have the right to cast vote for Romania’s representatives in the European Parliament, but they will have vote only the members of the state on whose lists they are registered, according to the incumbent legislation.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) recommends Romanian nationals outside country to allow for the specificities on the vote abroad and to show up in due time in order to cast vote.

When showing up at the poling station from abroad, each Romanian national will be checked in the lists communicated by the Permanent Electoral Authority, which includes the people who may cast vote at the European polls in another EU country.
