The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results from the parliamentary elections held on April 19. These initial figures are based on the processing of 91.68% of the tally sheets by the section election commissions, as reported to the constituency election commissions by 10:00 AM on Monday. According to the CEC, several parties and coalitions have crossed the mandatory 4% electoral threshold.
The commission is legally obligated to announce the total votes received and the subsequent distribution of seats among all participating parties and coalitions no later than four days following the election date. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament are scheduled for announcement within seven days after the election. These elections represent the eighth parliamentary cycle in Bulgaria since 2021.
The CEC’s ongoing work involves aggregating data from various levels of the electoral process, utilizing the tally sheets submitted by the various election commissions. The process of determining the final composition of the parliament relies on the comprehensive processing of all election results. The initial release of data from the commission provides an early indication of the political landscape following the vote.
The final official announcement from the commission will formalize the vote counts and seat allocations based on the entirety of the processed tally sheets.
