The Ministry of e-Government, the Bulgarian Institute for Standardization and the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology will check the voting machines for the upcoming elections for European and national parliament. According to the methodology approved, the documents, the software, the hardware, the processing, storage and downloading of the information shall be subject to control, as will the election process itself – for example whether a voter can cast their vote more than once, whether unauthorized access to the machines for other purposes is possible, whether there is any risk of disclosure of the vote etc.

The three institutions have 20 workdays to check 7 randomly selected voting machines. “The ultimate objective is to restore trust in the election process,” said caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev.
