All Bulgarian citizens who cast their ballots during elections may receive stimuli, the Bulgarian MPs from the Legal Affairs Committee with the National Assembly decided. However, the Bulgarian cabinet is to decide on the type of the stimuli. The citizens who fail to vote without a good excuse will be erased from the electoral lists for future elections. The amendment was adopted by the National Assembly Legal Committee during the extraordinary sitting about amendments to the Election Code on Tuesday. Compulsory voting is part of the civic duty of the Bulgarian citizens, the new amendments envisage. The MPs rejected some exotic ideas, according to which the low electoral activity should be stimulated through a raffle with various prizes, (proposed by the Patriotic Front and GERB), as well as through a 5% discount to the Income Tax,( proposed by MPs from the Reformist Bloc). The Legal Committee also approved the establishment of a separate Overseas Electoral Region, which was one of the main proposals of GERB regarding amendments to the Election Code.
