The Central Election Commission (CEC) released interim results for the parliamentary election held on April 19. These preliminary findings are based on the processing of 68.34% of the tally sheets submitted by the section election commissions to the constituency election commissions as of 7:00 AM on Monday. Under the existing Election Code, the CEC is mandated to announce the total votes received and the distribution of seats among participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election date.
Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be published no later than seven days after the election. These elections represent the eighth parliamentary contest in Bulgaria since 2021. The release of these preliminary figures is part of the formal tabulation process overseen by the election commission.
The continuous processing of tally sheets by various levels of the commission is crucial for establishing the final electoral outcome. The CEC’s reporting timeline adheres strictly to the provisions set forth in the Election Code, ensuring a structured and transparent process for determining the legislative makeup. The interim results provide an early indication of the vote distribution, while the final announcement will follow the established statutory deadlines.
