The Central Election Commission has confirmed the decision of the Stara Zagora District Election Commission to deny registration to Democratic Bulgaria's list of MP candidates for the November 14th parliamentary elections. The reason is that the documents submitted by the party were not signed manually, but with electronic signatures, which contradicts the Electoral Code.

"This is an unprecedented attack on the rule of law and on modernization of the country," Democratic Bulgaria commented.The decision can be appealed at the Administrative Court.
