Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev expects that the National Assembly would make changes to the voting rules or would signal the Constitutional Court over the way votes will be counted during the presidential elections. Cause for concern became the "I do not support anyone" option on the ballot list. The head of state urged lawmakers to change the method by which the results of the vote will be calculated.
“There is a problem and it is obvious. On the one hand, the vote is legitimate and valid when 'I do not support anyone' option is crossed, while on the other hand this vote becomes illegitimate when counting the actual support for individual candidates takes place,” the President said in a televised interview.
