Bulgaria's Patriotic bloc has staged a protest against the Central Election Commission over the large number of polling stations in Turkey, Sunday.

Protesters suggest that there may be pre-electoral manipulations and claim that the votes in these stations may be crucial for the outcome of the early elections, Nova TV reports.

Participants in the protest meet at the Battenberg Square in Sofia city center, followed by a procession to the Central Election Commission headquarters.

A total of 136 polling stations will be open in Turkey. For comparison, in the previous elections they were 88.
