For 49% of voters, the early parliamentary elections on July 11 were fairer than the previous ones, and about two-thirds of voters support machine voting. This is shown by a Gallup International Balkan telephone survey conducted between July 14th and 16th. 
Three out of four voters are pushing for a regular government, with significant hesitation about whether this will happen. 
The vote of the voters from Sunday shows a clear desire to abolish the model of governing of GERB - more than two thirds of the adult Bulgarians declare it. 
At the same time, the majority does not approve of Slavi Trifonov's hasty announcement of a project for a government and its composition. 
42.9% of respondents say they are for a government of the parties of change regardless of how exactly it will be implemented.
