For the first time Bulgaria faces the challenge of holding elections during an epidemic. This was what President Rumen Radev said at a meeting with representatives of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe - OSCE, who are monitoring the preparation and holding of the parliamentary elections on April 4, BTA reported.

The conditions for voting of quarantined citizens, the difficulties in processing the results of the simultaneous vote with machines and paper ballots, the prevention of a high percentage of invalid ballots and the introduction of video surveillance during the counting of ballots and the preparation of election protocols have been discussed.
