The amended Article 11 prescribes that as a rule, polling stations shall not be established outside the compounds of diplomatic missions and consular posts of the Republic of Bulgaria. Exceptions are given in Article 14. This provision distinguishes between EU Member States and non-EU countries. According to Article 14 (2), Bulgarian citizens residing in EU Member States have a right on application to have a polling station established provided there are at least 60 voters supporting the application. In non-EU countries, according to Article 14 (3), such applications are subject to the discretion of the heads of diplomatic missions and consular posts. This distinction between EU and non-EU states does not seem justified and should be removed.
