The CEC is ready, both with the demo version of the ballot for the runoff and with the ballot itself. This time the voting will be much simpler and easier, because the ballot will be only on one page of the machines.
As for the parliamentary elections, the result is also clear. 7 parties find a place in the next parliament. These are:
- "We Continue the Change" - 25.67%
- GERB-SDS - 22.74%
- DPS - 13.0%
- "BSP for Bulgaria" - 10.21%
- "There Is Such a People" - 9.52%
- "Democratic Bulgaria" - 6.37%
- "Vazrazhdane" - 4.86%
With 100% Processed Protocols “We Continue the Change” Officially Wins the Elections in Bulgaria
Less than 100 voting machines were defective in the first round of nearly 12,000. There should be no problems with the runoff machines. If there is a shortage of CECs, they will take one machine each from the sections where there were two machines, but there were not so many willing to vote.
