Overseas votes in Denmark election may not arrive in time due to Middle East turmoil, government says - Finance news and analysis from Global Banking & Finance Review

Denmark Warns Overseas Votes May Miss Election Deadline Amid Middle East Crisis
Impact of Middle East Crisis on Danish Overseas Voting

STOCKHOLM, March 6 (Reuters) – Denmark’s government said on Friday that the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East may prevent some overseas votes in the country’s March 24 general election from arriving in time to be counted.

Disruption of Global Air Travel

Global air travel remains severely disrupted after the war in Iran forced the closure of key Middle Eastern hubs including Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, leaving passengers and cargo stranded.

Ministry Statement on Postal Votes

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can’t under these circumstances guarantee that postal votes cast in countries affected by the current situation will arrive in time for the general election,” the ministry said in a statement. 

Countries Affected by Delays

The risk applies to votes cast in countries in the Middle East and potentially also in countries in Asia where mail passes through the Middle East on its way to Europe, it said.

Number of Overseas Voters Unclear

The ministry did not say how many Danes are expected to vote abroad.
