Women account for 57 percent of voters registered abroad, compared with 43 percent men. Single voters make up 52 percent of the electorate, while 42 percent are married, 6 percent are divorced and 1 percent are widowed. The register also includes 6,614 voters with disabilities.

Voters who do not attend the polls must justify their absence on election day. The TSE said they can do so through the official e-Título application or in person at overseas polling stations equipped with electronic voting machines. No separate polling stations will be established for submitting voting justifications.
