The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released interim results concerning the parliamentary election held on April 19. The preliminary figures are based on the processing of 68.34% of the required tally sheets. This data was compiled from the section election commissions and subsequently processed at the constituency election commissions as of 7 a.m.
on Monday. The announcement of these results marks a key procedural step in the electoral timeline. According to the Election Code, the CEC is bound by specific deadlines for finalizing the outcome.
The Commission must formally announce the total votes received and the 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 election. These proceedings constitute the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021.
The ongoing work of the various commissions is critical to establishing the final composition of the legislature. The interim release of the tally sheets provides an early assessment of the vote distribution, while the CEC continues its mandated review process to ensure the final results are accurately certified according to electoral law.
