The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results following the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial figures are based on the processing of 91.68% of the tally sheets submitted by section election commissions to the constituency election commissions as of 10:00 AM on Monday. The CEC’s preliminary announcement indicated which political parties and coalitions have successfully crossed the mandated 4% electoral threshold.
Procedurally, the Election Code stipulates specific deadlines for the commission. The CEC is required to announce the total votes received and the subsequent distribution of seats among the participating parties and coalitions no later than four days after the election day. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be officially announced within seven days following the conclusion of the vote.
This electoral process marks the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021. The preliminary nature of the current data means that final certification of results awaits the processing of all outstanding tally sheets. The ongoing work by the election commission aims to provide a comprehensive and definitive account of the mandate distribution.
Stakeholders and observers are awaiting the final confirmation from the commission regarding the definitive outcome of the election.
