The Central Election Commission (CEC) released preliminary results from the parliamentary election held on April 19. These preliminary findings are based on the processing of 91.68% of the tally sheets by the section election commissions, which were then processed at the constituency election commissions as of 10:00 AM on Monday. According to the CEC, several parties and coalitions have crossed the mandated 4% electoral threshold.
The election marks the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021. Under the provisions of the Election Code, the CEC is obligated to officially announce the votes received and the subsequent distribution of seats among all participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election day. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be published within seven days after the election.
The preliminary release of these figures provides an initial overview of the electoral outcome. The continuous processing of the tally sheets by the various election commission levels is expected to finalize the official count. The commission’s adherence to the statutory deadlines is crucial for the formal declaration of the legislative body’s composition following the recent election.

The preliminary nature of these results, based on only 91.68% of the tally sheets, means the final outcome is still subject to change.
