“All machines earmarked for the voting abroad have already been dispatched to the Bulgarian missions. The additional 1,637 voting machines for use inside the country are expected in Sofia on the night of 29 June. The devices were purchased by public procurement from the manufacturer Smartmatic via the state-owned company “Information Services”,” said Rositsa Mateva spokesperson for the Central Election Commission, CEC.

The CEC has also posted information to its website about the vacancies at the section election commissions abroad which must be filled in. By force of the election legislation voters at polling stations outside Bulgaria will not have the option of ranked-choice voting, Rositsa Mateva added.
