A big dream of Bulgarians abroad is to be able to vote remotely. There is no political will of the parliamentary majority to change the Electoral Code in this direction, Vice President Iliana Yotova said.

Speaking on the "Horizont" program of the Bulgarian National Radio, she said that the date for the parliamentary elections will be in line with the development of the situation in the country.

"The campaign and election day will take place in new, difficult conditions. Innovative forms of voting will be needed and they must be approved by parliament. The next festive days will also be very busy. Elections will be a test and must happen in a way that would restore people's trust in the electoral system," Vice President Yotova added.
