The voting stations in Washington D.C. and New York have opened for voting in the presidential elections in Ukraine for the citizens, who reside or temporarily stay in the United States, Antigua and Barbuda and Trinidad and Tobago.

"7,173 voters were registered at the voting station in Washington D.C. from those, who can vote here on March 31," Andriy Maryanych, a member of the election commission in the American capital, said in a commentary to an Ukrinform correspondent.

This time, as in the previous elections, people are expected to come to express their will from 19 American states.

Ukrainian citizens from the nine U.S. states have the right to vote at the voting station in New York. "There are 11,651 people on the updated voter lists," said Oleksii Prokopenko, the secretary of the election commission in New York.

In general, four polling stations will operate in the United States: in Washington D.C., New York, Chicago and San Francisco. All of them work in the premises of the embassy or the consular departments of Ukraine.
