The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released interim results stemming from the parliamentary election held on April 19. These preliminary figures are based on the processing of 68.34% of the total tally sheets submitted by section election commissions to the constituency election commissions, as reported at 7:00 am on Monday. The announcement of these partial results marks a critical procedural step in concluding the electoral process.
Under the established Election Code, the CEC operates under specific timelines for finalizing the vote count. The commission is mandated to announce the total votes received by various parties and coalitions, alongside the subsequent distribution of seats, no later than four days following the election date. Furthermore, the official names of all elected Members of Parliament must be publicly disclosed within seven days of the election.
These proceedings represent the eighth parliamentary election conducted in Bulgaria since 2021. The data gathered by the various election commissions is essential for determining the composition of the new legislature. The ongoing aggregation of the tally sheets by the CEC ensures that the final declaration of results adheres strictly to national electoral law.
The interim nature of the report indicates that the comprehensive counting process across all constituencies is still underway, pending the receipt and verification of remaining documentation.
