The "Democratic Bulgaria" coalition has filed an appeal in the Supreme Administrative Court against the instructions adopted by the Central Election Commission to manually count the control receipts from the machine voting for President and Parliament. The results must be recorded in additional protocols. According to the complaint, the Electoral Code did not mention this procedure.

"If a 100% count of these receipts was introduced, the work of election commissions would be severely hampered and there is a risk of a failure in the reporting of election results, which in turn would be used as an argument for a return to paper voting," the co-chair of "Democratic Bulgaria", Hristo Ivanov, has warned.
