According to Mircea, the ministry hopes the bill will be adopted this fall, after the Parliament’s recess.
Democrat liberal MP William Branza told MEDIAFAX recently the Senate tacitly adopted a bill on postal voting set forth by a group of democrat liberal MPs, adding the draft act is pending debates in the Chamber of Deputies.
Branza added he called on Foreign Affairs Minister Teodor Baconschi to speed up procedures to send the ministry’s postal voting bill to the Parliament, so the two draft acts may be merged.
On May 9, senators tacitly adopted a bill on postal voting for Romanians abroad. The Senate’s committee for legal matters had opposed its adoption citing the standpoint of the Government, which announced it was working on a bill aimed to regulate the matter.
