In general, the machine voting introduced in Bulgaria in the polling stations with over 300 voters has passed successfully in the parliamentary elections of July 11, international observers note. According to them, however, corruption and the lack of media pluralism have cast a shadow over the vote.

They also point out that machine voting has made it difficult for a number of older people and those who are not sufficiently familiar with new technologies.
