The Bulgarian parliament is expected to deliver its opinion on the introduction of remote electronic voting on Thursday.
On Tuesday, the parliamentary Legal Affairs Committee approved the introduction of electronic voting.
The issue was the subject of a referendum which was held simultaneously with the local elections on October 25 last year.
A total of 69.5 % of the people voted in favour of the introduction of electronic voting in the referendum.
Although the voter turnout was not high enough to make the introduction of electronic voting compulsory, it passed the 20 % threshold making it necessary for parliament to review the issue and deliver its opinion.
The MPs have adopted a proposal of the second largest opposition party – the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) which provides clear guarantees for the secrecy of the vote.
By the end of April, the parliamentary committee will be ready with the bill proposing amendments to the Election Code.
