In our view, the country of origin should find a formula to encompass this category of voters who reside abroad and want to exercise their right to vote, but cannot come to their country on Election Day. It is up to the citizen to decide whether or not he/she wishes to exercise this right. The same approach should be applied to the legal requirement for passive suffrage. Such a legislative provision will mean that every citizen who meets the general conditions required can run as a candidate for the national elections and does not have to be in his home state. The only legal connection with the state, which a citizen who wants to run for a candidate has to meet, is to be its citizen. This approach is particularly important for countries with a large numbers of its nationals living abroad, who, at the same time, maintain relations with state (although the residences of these people and their successors are abroad, they can run as Members of Parliament).
