Bulgaria’s ad hoc election board is to hold its very last sitting on Wednesday, four days before the country’s crucial general elections.

The organizational tasks ahead of the Interior Ministry and the Central Electoral Committee are expected to be the main focus of the sitting.

The election board’s aim was to help organize and carry out the snap general elections on May 12 in a fair and transparent manner. The board was the brainchild of President Rosen Plevneliev and caretaker Prime Minister Marin Raykov.

The center-right GERB government of former PM Boyko Borisov resigned amid massive anti-poverty protests in February, prompting Plevneliev to adjourn the Parliament, appoint a caretaker Cabinet and schedule elections for May 12.
