By 11.00 am, no signals about serious violations of the electoral process were submitted, Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov announced. Several thousand police officers are guarding the polling stations in Bulgaria.

The Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Interior are working in parallel at today’s elections. There will be a unit on duty with the Supreme Cassation Prosecutor’s Office. It will summarize information about crimes and electoral fraud. Citizens and non-governmental organizations will be able to signal the district prosecutor’s offices at their emails. A total of 658 cases and files have been opened since the beginning of the election campaign. The Prosecutor’s Office refused to initiate a total of 371 pre-trial proceedings due to the lack of evidence for electoral fraud. Like at the previous early general elections, a special interdepartmental headquarters consisting of representatives of the Prosecutor’s Office and the State Agency for National Security, was formed.
