The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results concerning the parliamentary election held on April 19. These interim figures are based on the processing of 68.34% of the total tally sheets collected by the section election commissions and subsequently reported to the constituency election commissions as of 7:00 am on Monday. The announcement of these results marks a critical stage in the electoral process, which constitutes the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021.
According to the governing Election Code, the CEC is bound by specific timelines for finalizing the results. The commission must formally announce the total votes received and the resulting distribution of seats among participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election day. Furthermore, the naming of all elected Members of Parliament must be completed within seven days of the election.
The current publication of the partial tally provides an initial overview of the vote count, derived from the decentralized work of the various election commissions across the country. The ongoing compilation of data from remaining polling stations is essential for achieving a final, comprehensive count. Stakeholders and observers are awaiting the completion of the tally process to determine the final composition of the parliament.
The CEC continues to manage the consolidation of data, ensuring adherence to the statutory deadlines governing the conclusion of the election.
