The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary findings regarding the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial results are based on the processing of 96.41% of the tally sheets submitted by the section and constituency election commissions as of 11:00 AM on Monday. The preliminary data identified the specific parties and coalitions that successfully crossed the mandated 4% electoral threshold.
Under Bulgarian election code, the CEC is legally obligated to announce the final vote counts and the subsequent distribution of parliamentary seats among all participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election date. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be formally announced within a seven-day period. This election marks the eighth parliamentary contest in Bulgaria since 2021.
The preliminary nature of the report underscores the ongoing tabulation process managed by the various election commissions. The comprehensive oversight provided by the CEC ensures that all votes are accounted for according to established legal procedures. The release of these preliminary figures provides an initial overview of the electoral landscape, pending the full count.
The continuous work of the local and national election commission is crucial to establishing the final mandate of the new legislature. The final declaration of results will follow the completion of the mandated tally sheet review, ensuring adherence to the established electoral timeline.
