The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results stemming from the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial figures are based on the processing of 96.41% of the tally sheets gathered by the section election commissions and subsequently compiled at the constituency election commissions as of 11:00 AM on Monday. The preliminary announcement identified the specific parties and coalitions that successfully met the 4% electoral threshold required for representation.
Under the established Election Code, the CEC is mandated to provide a comprehensive announcement detailing the votes received and the subsequent distribution of seats among all participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election day. Furthermore, the official names of the elected Members of Parliament must be published within seven days of the vote. This election represents the eighth parliamentary contest in Bulgaria since 2021.
The release of these preliminary results marks a critical procedural step following the conclusion of the voting period. The CEC’s ongoing work, utilizing data compiled from various local commission levels, is crucial for finalizing the national mandate and ensuring adherence to the electoral timeline established by law. The continuous processing of results by the various commission levels is central to the transparency and legitimacy of the final vote count.
