The non-governmental organisation Anti-Corruption Fund will study the impact of controlled and bought votes in the political elections in Bulgaria. The first results of the survey will be announced days before the parliamentary elections on April 4, BNR reporter Silvia Velikova informed.
The subject of the study will be all elections after 2013 and an additional report about this year’s elections will be presented after their end.
The analysis is part of the project "Violated legitimacy: controlled and bought vote in Bulgaria, size and influence" and is provoked by suspicions that buying votes and irregularities in the electoral process have accompanied all elections in this country since the beginning of democratic change and this demotivates most of the voters.
The Anti-Corruption Fund is supported by the America for Bulgaria Foundation.
