The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results stemming from the parliamentary elections conducted on April 19. These initial figures are based on the processing of 78.24% of the available tally sheets, which were compiled by the section election commissions and subsequently processed at the constituency level as of 8:00 a.m. on Monday.
The CEC operates under specific guidelines outlined in the Election Code regarding the announcement of election outcomes. Legally, the commission is mandated to announce the total votes received by various parties and coalitions, along with the corresponding distribution of seats, no later than four days following the election day. Furthermore, the names of the successfully elected Members of Parliament must be officially published within seven days after the election.
These proceedings mark the eighth parliamentary election held in Bulgaria since 2021. The preliminary data provided by the commission offers an early indication of the electoral results, utilizing the initial batch of processed tally sheets. The ongoing process involves the aggregation of data from all local election commissions to finalize the official vote count and determine the final seat allocation for the new legislative body.
