Paragraph 73
 

73.  There is currently no system for Macedonian citizens to register or vote abroad. Citizens who are temporarily working or staying abroad may vote, in the constituency of their last registered residence in country, provided they have a valid passport and maintain their residential registration.[45] Deficiencies in reporting changes of residential status to the Ministry of Internal Affairs have, however, made implementation of these provisions to the voters’ list problematic. Interestingly, a provision in the Draft Code requiring the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit data concerning voters who have permanently moved out of the country, including on their country of residence,[46] was deleted prior to enactment of the Code.
