The Azerbaijani Embassy in the Russian Federation continues to take appropriate administrative, organizational and technical measures in order to ensure the right of citizens living outside the country to vote in the presidential elections of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Voter lists of our citizens living outside the country and over 18 years of age were prepared by the embassy and submitted to the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
