Bulgaria’s Supreme Administrative Court did not proceed with the case involving the Central Election Commission’s appeal against a ruling of the Sofia City Administrative Court, which allows video monitoring and streaming during the ballot counting. 

The court has postponed the case on procedural grounds. According to the Central Election Commission and the Commission for Personal Data Protection, the ruling would leave Bulgarian citizens without the right to personal data protection. However, supporters of the video monitoring note that it will take place after the end of polling day and the rights of voters are not at risk.
