• CEC Deputy Chair Mateva: Recalculation of election results should be ready by the end of next week

If there is any change in the numbers of valid votes there will probably be changes in distribution of the seats in parliament, CEC chair Kamelia Neykova said in an interview for bTV. She stated she is not empowered to make this information public and that this will be done by the Constitutional Court.

“Neither the CEC, nor “Information Services” are counting ballots. By force of its ruling from 26 February, the Constitutional Court assigned the CEC the task of entering the numbers provided from 2,204 tally sheets, as is the court ruling. The counting is done by experts at the Constitutional Court,” Kamelia Neykova said.

No ballots have been found at two polling stations, at another seven the ballots from the machine vote or the paper ballots were found to be missing. The Constitutional Court has assigned an expert evaluation for the polling stations in the villages of Garmen, Belitsa and Ognyanovo, Kamelia Neykov said further.
