Will Bulgaria Have a Stable Government After Yet Another Election in June? Our Readers Have Spoken
On our Facebook page, readers were asked about Bulgaria's stability after the June elections
Certain media outlets have not published their election campaign ads tariffs and the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) will probably address this matter, CEC spokesman Tsvetozar Tomov claimed.
In an interview for Bulgarian National Radio (BNR), Tomov explained that the information campaign for Bulgarian citizens voting abroad will be more active at the upcoming elections, involving a number of international non-governmental organizations.
Preferential voting will be different from that at the European elections, as this time not using the option of preference will be interpreted as a vote in favor of the party’s electoral list leader, Tomov told BNR.
Regarding the election observers, CEC spokesperson said that Bulgaria Without Censorship and Plan BG, both represented by former journalist Nikolay Barekov, have been denied registration. “Yesterday, CEC refused to register an association due to the political involvement of its representatives, and rejected the draft proposal for the registration of another association for the same reason,” Tomov said.
Parties and coalitions running in the elections can register their observers and representatives who have other functions and can perform these functions to protect the party interests, he added.
