Machine voting has led to rapid processing of the election protocols

The processing of the protocols from the elections in the capital's Arena Armeec hall is going fast and without tension, announced the BNR reporter Rumyana Vasileva. It takes up to 5-6 minutes to process a protocol of the election commissions. About 100 protocols are processed per hour. 
The processing is taking place in the presence of OSCE observers. 
The main reason for the fast process is probably the result of machine voting.
In Plovdiv, more than 1,000 members of sectional election commissions are waiting to submit their protocols to one of the palaces of the International Fair in the city. There, too, the processing of documents is fast, BNR correspondent Kremena Daneva reported from Plovdiv.
