The Central Election Commission (CEC) announced the preliminary results of the parliamentary election held on April 19. As of Monday morning, the preliminary data reflects the processing of 91.68% of the total tally sheets, which were compiled by section election commissions and subsequently reported to the constituency election commissions. Following the initial count, the CEC confirmed which political parties and coalitions successfully surpassed the mandatory 4% electoral threshold.
The announcement provided an initial overview of the vote distribution, though the final determination of seats remains pending. The Election Code stipulates specific timelines for the finalization of the results. The CEC is required to officially 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 day.
Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be formally published within seven days. This electoral process marked the eighth parliamentary election conducted in Bulgaria since 2021. The ongoing work of the various election commissions is central to ensuring the integrity of the final count.
The preliminary nature of the current tally means that final certification is contingent upon the processing of all remaining election materials. The CEC continues to oversee the consolidation of all data to finalize the outcome of the national election.
