Portuguese citizens around the world travel kilometers to vote.

Without the option of remote voting in the presidential elections, the only way to vote for those living outside the country is to go to a diplomatic post. Despite the distance, voter turnout is high in capitals like Brussels and Paris. SIC Notícias reported that by noon, around four thousand people had already voted in Paris, double the number from five years ago. Lusa news agency reports that in London, voters are traveling from places up to 100 kilometers away to vote.

Voter turnout up to noon is the highest in the last 20 years.
