Today, 29 October, Bulgaria holds the first round of regular elections for mayors and municipal councillors in a total of 265 municipalities. These elections are seen as a test of the country's governance. The coalition partners in the Cabinet and Parliament - GERB-SDS and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria - are rivals, as the results could lead to a change in the balance of the ruling majority before the upcoming rotation of Prime Minister in the "Nikolay Denkov-Mariya Gabriel" Cabinet in March 2024.
Duration of polling day
Election day begins at 07:00 and ends at 20:00. If there are people waiting outside polling stations after this time, voting may be extended until 21:00.
Campaigning and pre-announcement of results are prohibited on polling day. The polling stations announce the estimated results at the end of polling day, after 20:00.
