Problems with machine voting in Bulgaria

Understanding the logic of the information on the first page displayed on the voting machines' touch screen is a very serious problem, Stoil Stoilov, member of the Public Council of the Central Election Commission said for bTV.

There is confusion among people over 40, as well as among younger voters. Perhaps, some members of the sectional election commission need to tell people the available options before they start voting, Stoil Stoilov went on to say. In his words, the second problem regards the slow process of voting. “For instance, one voting machine in a given polling station serves half of the electoral roll and the second machine serves the other half, which slows down the voting process. There are polling stations with two voting machines where only one person is allowed to vote at a time and the second voting machine remains unused”, Stoil Stoilov added.
