“On 2 April the Central Election Commission (CEC) is to announce the exact number of mobile election commissions where Covid-19 patients will be able to vote,” CEC spokesman Dimitar Dimitrov stated.

They will be no less than 88 in number, but there are no volunteers for members of the commissions in the big cities. That is why the CEC urged the political parties to provide people for the Covid polling stations in hospitals and for the mobile polling stations where persons under quarantine will cast their votes. Dimitar Dimitrov urged the political forces which will fill the composition of the commissions to make their proposals and to be active.
