The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results stemming from the parliamentary election held on April 19. The initial data is based on the processing of 96.41% of the tally sheets compiled by section and constituency election commissions, as reported at 11:00 am on Monday. According to the preliminary findings, several parties and coalitions have met the 4% electoral threshold mandated by law.
The CEC is responsible for finalizing the vote counts and determining the allocation of seats among all participating parties and coalitions. Legally, the Election Code dictates a clear timeline for the finalization of the results. The Commission is required to announce the official votes received and the resulting seat distribution to all political entities no later than four days following the election date.
Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be officially announced within seven days of the election. This electoral cycle represents the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021. The preliminary announcement provides an early overview of the electoral outcome, drawing data from multiple levels of the electoral process.
Stakeholders are awaiting the full tabulation to confirm the final composition of the legislative body. The CEC continues its work to validate the results based on the comprehensive review of all processed documentation from the various commissions.
