Trying to ensure the greatest possible turnout, the organization monitoring Bosnia's Sept. 14 elections is trying to track down Bosnian refugees around the world through the Internet.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has called for Internet users worldwide who know Bosnian refugees to help them apply for an absentee ballot.
On Friday, it asked the media to help spread the word that refugees can request official applications for absentee ballots electronically.
The OSCE estimates 900,000 refugees in more than 35 countries may be eligible to vote in the Sept. 14 elections.
Applications must be submitted no later than July 31 to receive an absentee ballot.
