There are 23 polling stations in Bulgaria in which, due to problems with the voting machines, voting with paper ballots was used, the Central Election Commission announced. With three of the machines, voting was suspended after the words "Diary tampered" appeared on their screens. After the election, when the machines are returned to the warehouse, an investigation will be carried out to find out what caused the problems.

69 signals of violations on election day have been reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs so far. The department adds that three criminal proceedings have been initiated by this time of the day, BNR reported. Since the beginning of the election campaign, there have been 621 reports of violations.
