The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results stemming from the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial figures are based on the processing of 87.23% of the required tally sheets, compiled by the section election commissions and subsequently processed at the constituency election commissions as of 9:00 am on Monday. The release of these preliminary results marks a key procedural step following the election, which represented the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021.
The CEC operates under specific guidelines outlined in the Election Code regarding the finalization of the electoral process. According to the Code, the Commission is legally mandated to announce the final vote counts and the corresponding distribution of seats among participating parties and coalitions no later than four days after the election day. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be officially published within seven days following the election.
The current dissemination of the tally sheets indicates the ongoing work of the various commissions to finalize the vote count. While the preliminary data provides an early overview of the electoral outcome, the CEC continues its established protocol to ensure all procedural requirements are met before declaring the definitive results. This structured process ensures transparency and adherence to the established electoral framework.
