Parliamentary elections of 10 June <strong>2007</strong>: the count at Tour and Taxis in Brussels © FPS Foreign Affairs, Dominique Decuyper<br />
Ballot papers were sent to the 75,000 Belgians across<br />
the world who had chosen to vote by post.<br />
Postal votes were brought to their respective destinations<br />
in <strong>Belgium</strong>.<br />
Elections on 8 and 9 June<br />
Belgians residing outside the European Union voted<br />
on Friday, 8 June, whilst Belgians living in another<br />
EU country voted on Saturday, 9 June. Belgians cast<br />
their votes in a total of 110 embassies and consulates.<br />
In most of them there was one polling station<br />
(in some cases two, given the number of voters)<br />
where Belgians could vote.<br />
The FPS counted the votes cast in embassies and<br />
consulates and also the ballot papers for Brussels-<br />
Halle-Vilvoorde.<br />
The count was held in a room in the Tour and Taxis<br />
complex and involved 252 civil servants (some of<br />
them from other federal FPSs). There were 41 counting<br />
stations and one ‘canton station’.<br />
Completed ballot papers were brought to Brussels in<br />
good time from the embassies and consulates.<br />
The results from the special vote counting station<br />
were available before midnight on 10 June.<br />
