Today, November 30, in Warsaw, the youngest voter — 18-year-old Abdyshukur — cast his vote at the newly opened polling station.
According to information provided by the Embassy of Kyrgyzstan in Germany, this day became significant for Kyrgyz citizens living in Poland, as they can now use an official polling station to exercise their civic rights.
The young voter shared that his participation in the elections creates a "sense of involvement and provides an opportunity to be heard, despite the distance."
Members of the electoral commission noted that the opening of the polling station in Warsaw is an important step towards improving access to government services for citizens outside their country.
“We are observing significant interest and activity among Kyrgyz citizens in Poland. For many of them, it is important to participate in the life of their country, even when far from home,” emphasized representatives of the commission.
According to information from the Kyrgyz diaspora in Poland, the number of Kyrgyz citizens here is about 10,000, making it one of the largest Kyrgyz communities in Europe. Among them are students, doctors, entrepreneurs, IT specialists, and representatives of various professions.
There are also two public organizations of Kyrgyz citizens registered in Poland: "Danaker" and "Kyrgyz Diaspora in Poland."
The opening of the polling station was made possible through the joint efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, the Central Election Commission, and the Embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic in Germany, which ensured the organization of all necessary processes, including the delivery of equipment to Poland and the preparation of conditions for voting.
