Voting in presidential elections remains strictly in person, and the abstention rate among citizens abroad has consistently stayed above 90%.

Update: Reporting highlights that emigrants frequently must travel hundreds of kilometres to reach polling stations in order to vote — a distance many say they cannot afford or manage: “No love of country can withstand it,” one expatriate commented. Analysts and rights groups say the in‑person‑only requirement effectively disenfranchises large numbers of expats and helps explain the persistently high abstention rate, prompting renewed calls for policy changes such as expanded polling locations abroad, postal voting or secure electronic options; authorities acknowledge logistical and legal hurdles but have not set a timetable for reforms.
