Four members of Bulgaria’s Central Election Commission from the quota of one of the political forces participating at the two-in-one elections on November 14 gave a press conference in front of the commission’s building.

According to the Election Code, if voting machines break or fail in a given polling station, voting takes place via the use of paper ballots, the commission’s members said with regard to the back-up voting machines scandal. The four members of the Central Election Commission called on voters to vote en masse on Sunday.

They also expressed dissatisfaction with the “illegal interference of this country’s Minister of Interior in the organization of the elections”.
