The draft law providing for the piloting of postal voting was adopted by Parliament in final reading with 57 votes in favor on April 26.

Among the countries where Moldovans will be able to exercise their right to vote by mail are the United States, Canada, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Republic of Finland and the Republic of Iceland.
