According to the procedure, the CEC will now verify and confirm the registration requests by checking the identity of registered voters.

“We carry out this procedure by comparing the facial features in the photo submitted by the voter with the photo on their ID and with the most recent photo in the State Population Register,” the authority explained.

“During the identity verification process, the electoral body may ask the voter to partially or fully update their data to enable identification. Voters must complete any updates no later than 30 days before election day. We will notify voters of the verification result via email, explaining any conditions that prevented identification,” the authority added.

In the 2024 election, 1,986 voters registered to vote by mail. At that time, the alternative method was available only in the United States, Canada, Norway, Iceland, and Finland.
