On substance, the proposal by the Moldovan authorities to move toward postal voting for citizens abroad is to be welcomed, as the number of Moldovan citizens with a right to vote while living abroad is large by comparative standards, and the arrangements under which they have voted in the past have caused difficulties. A trial of different methods is prudent and will be applied at least to the presidential elections and referendum of 20 October 2024. The limited territorial scope of this trial is acceptable due its application to one vote only.
