The final version of the ruling New Democracy’s proposed constitutional amendment concerning the voting rights of Greeks abroad was submitted to the Parliament plenary on Friday, by ND general rapporteur Kostas Tzavaras, ANA reports.
Effectively, the ND proposal makes it possible to: pass a law with the votes of 200 MPs that permits state deputy election tickets to include expatriate Greeks, incorporating them in the electorate body; permits political parties to also have representatives of Greeks abroad on their state deputy tickets; determine how the votes of expatriate Greeks will be counted – whether in individual precincts or as part of the nationwide vote – through a law that is passed by a relative majority; allow the founding of expatriate precincts abroad through a law requiring 180 votes to pass.
