2024 European Parliament elections. Voter turnout, 11:00 - Diaspora, just over 1% of all voters, despite representing 12% of all those on the lists

Over 2,300,000 Romanians with the right to vote went to the polls by 11 a.m. to express their choices in the European Parliament elections, out of a total of 18 million registered voters. In percentage terms, they represent 12% of those eligible to vote. Out of the total number of 18 million voters, around 2,180,000 are Romanians from the Diaspora, where only around 27 thousand voters were registered. In other words, only just over 1% of Romanians in the Diaspora had voted by 11am. Romanians in the Diaspora can only vote in the European Parliament elections and are not "eligible" for local elections.
