Portuguese in Andorra Can Vote Early for Presidential Runoff

Portuguese citizens living in Andorra can cast early votes for the second round of their country's presidential election at the Consulate General of Portugal in the Principat. The early voting period runs from 27 to 29 January, mornings only between 8am and 2pm.

This option targets voters registered on Portugal's mainland electoral roll who are unable to be in the country on polling day, set for 8 February. It covers those in Andorra for work-related reasons—whether in public or private roles—as well as students, researchers, teachers or fellows at recognised higher education or research institutions. Also eligible are members of official national sports teams, people receiving medical treatment outside Portugal, and those living with or accompanying anyone in these categories.

Consulate authorities stressed that early voting follows standard procedures for expatriates and requires presenting an original, valid ID such as the Cartão de Cidadão, passport or driving licence.

Standard voting for the runoff will take place in person at the consulate on 7 and 8 February, from 8am to 7pm. This is restricted to voters registered directly with the consulate's own electoral commission.

Voters can check their registration status—and confirm whether they qualify for early or standard voting—via Portugal's official portal.
