The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results from the parliamentary elections conducted on April 19. These initial figures are based on 87.23% of the tally sheets processed by the section election commissions and subsequently reported to the constituency election commissions as of 9:00 AM on Monday. The CEC operates under the Election Code, which mandates specific timelines for announcing election outcomes.
According to the code, the commission must disclose the total votes received and the allocation 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 are required to be published by the commission within seven days after the election. These elections mark the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021.
The preliminary data provided by the election commission serves as an interim update as the full processing of all tally sheets is completed. The continuous reporting process allows the commission to gradually finalize the official distribution of seats and the final count of votes for all candidates and parties.
