The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results following the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial findings are based on the processing of 87.23% of the available tally sheets, compiled by section election commissions and aggregated at the constituency level as of 9:00 a.m. on Monday.
This report marks the eighth parliamentary election conducted in Bulgaria since 2021. The preliminary figures indicate the progress of the vote counting process, though the final determination of mandates remains pending official confirmation. Under the established Election Code, the CEC is legally mandated to announce the total votes received and the subsequent 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 officially published within seven days of the voting day. The current announcement represents a critical procedural milestone, confirming the methodical work of the various election commissions. While the preliminary tally provides stakeholders with an early indication of the electoral outcome, the final certification process requires the completion of all outstanding counts.
The CEC continues to monitor the remaining sections to ensure full compliance with the electoral timeline and to finalize the official composition of the legislature.
