On the day before the local elections in Bulgaria, protests against the abolition of machine voting and the attempts at election fraud are taking place in Sofia as well as in Varna.
The protesters say that they trust the voting machines more than they do politicians, as machines are the most reliable way to register votes properly. The protest in Sofia was organized on social media after yesterday’s decision by the Central Election Commission to do away with machine voting at tomorrow’s local election. The protesters blocked traffic in the region of the former so-called party house where the National Assembly now sits, with tensions arising between protesters and police.
