The expired warranty of the voting machines is not going to create a problem at the upcoming parliamentary election, caretaker Minister of e-Government Valentin Mundrov said in an interview with Nova TV. The fact the machines’ warranty is expired does not mean they have any defects, what is means is out-of-warranty support for the devices, he added.

9,353 machines will be used at the 27 October election in the country and 147 machines will be used abroad, and they will all undergo prophylaxis and diagnostics. “Besides this, checks will be run whether the software that has been installed in these machines is the same as the software that was generated yesterday,” Minister Mundrov said.

Valentin Mundrov stated that the aim is to have more machines checked than at the previous election. The devices that will be checked will be selected randomly.
