There will be 755 polling stations abroad for the early parliamentary vote on October 2, the Central Election Commission (CEC) has decided. This is 5 polling stations more than in the last elections in November 2021. 

For four countries - Austria, Germany, Canada and Norway - the establishment of polling stations outside diplomatic and consular missions is conditional until 16 September, when final permission from the host countries is expected, CEC spokesman Tsvetozar Tomov said. 

Because of the large number of people wishing to vote, three polling stations will be opened in the Czech embassy in Prague, as the Czech state only allows voting in diplomatic and consular missions, Tomov explained.
