Estonia's Central Election Commission on Tuesday officially registered the country's Chancellor of Justice, Ülle Madise, as a candidate for president. She is currently the only person registered for the upcoming election.
In Estonia, the president is not elected by popular vote but by members of parliament. The vote is scheduled to take place next week.
With only one candidate registered so far, the parliamentary vote could proceed in a simplified manner, though the final outcome will depend on the actual balloting. The source did not provide further details on other potential candidates or the exact date of the vote.
