The Central Election Commission (CEC) has released preliminary results following the parliamentary election held on April 19. These initial findings are based on the processing of 91.68% of the tally sheets across the section election commissions, as reported to the constituency election commissions by 10:00 am on Monday. According to the election code, the CEC has specific timelines for announcing the final outcomes.
The commission is required to declare the total votes received and the subsequent distribution of seats among parties and coalitions no later than four days after election day. Furthermore, the names of the elected Members of Parliament must be officially announced within seven days following the election. This electoral process marked the eighth parliamentary election in Bulgaria since 2021.
Preliminary reports have identified several parties and coalitions that successfully crossed the mandated 4% electoral threshold. The release of these preliminary figures provides an initial overview of the mandate distribution, though final certification awaits the processing of all outstanding tally sheets. The CEC remains responsible for finalizing the vote count and seat allocation according to established electoral procedures.
Stakeholders await the commission’s final declaration to confirm the legislative makeup following the recent election.
