The upcoming parliamentary elections on July 11 will cost approximately 7.8 m euros, along with the delivery of another 1,500 voting machines, Central Election Commission Chairwoman Kamelia Neykova told BNT. The machines already delivered are still the property of the supplier. The 21.6 m euros owed will be paid only if the company's work is accepted.

About 700 polling stations in the country must have at least two voting machines for the July 11 elections. The exact calculations are yet to be made, after conducting additional experiments in the village of Dobroslavtsi in the Sofia region and in the municipality of Slivnitsa. After the end of the experiments, a summarized analysis will be made, Neykova said.
