The parliamentary elections in Bulgaria, the fifth in two years, have already started. A maximum of 2.7 million Bulgarian citizens are expected to go to the polling stations until the end of election day (20.00 pm), which is 46% of all Bulgarians with a right to vote. For comparison, voter turnout at the previous general elections on October, 2, 2022, was at a record low of 39.4%.
11,810 polling stations were set up in Bulgaria. Bulgarians abroad can also exercise their right to vote. For, the purpose, a total of 737 polling stations in 61 countries were set up for the April 2 election, 18 less as compared to the previous elections.
47,389 Bulgarians from 87 countries submitted voting applications online. Traditionally, the largest number of electronic applications were received from Turkiye- 28,286, followed by Great Britain-3,343 and Germany-3,289. However, the number of applications does not correspond to the actual number of voters, which was much higher – 175,338 in the previous elections.
