The Parliament approved with a broad majority late on Wednesday a bill that allows Greeks of the diaspora to exercise their voting rights from their place of residence.

Parliament’s plenary session approved significant changes to the Greek constitution on Monday evening, based on proposals by New Democracy (ND) and SYRIZA which include regulations on the selection of Greece’s president, the right of Greeks abroad to vote at their countries of residence, and ministerial liability.

Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos presented the final document on the right of Greeks living abroad to vote, at the plenary session of Parliament on Thursday.
