Following two days of debates, Bulgaria’s National Assembly adopted at second reading the amendments to the Electoral Code. Bulgarians will be able to choose whether to vote via paper ballots or voting machines at the next elections. The Central Election Commission has the obligation to provide the technical equipment for the future machine voting. It can either rent or buy voting machines.
