Ombudsman - I think that it’s always better to appoint elections on weekend

I think that it’s always better to appoint elections on weekend, - Public Defender Nino Lomjaria said on Thursday.

"Of course it is very important our citizens living abroad to vote and they have the possibility to do it, mainly, on weekends, but we should also take into consideration that there is a very high internal migration in the country and citizens have to go far away to vote in the elections and they are enabled to do it, mainly, on weekends. Therefore, for ensuring a higher turnout, it would be better, and as far as I know it, the law allowed it to hold the elections on weekends. Therefore, it is sad to happen so and I hope that this will not negatively affect the voter turnover on the day of elections, but it would be more welcomed if the elections were appointed on weekend, "Lomjaria said.
