Until today, we have been dealing with reporting the results. After the elections, the Central Election Commission (CEC) re-enters the data from all election protocols from all Sectional Election Commissions (SECs) - both in the country and abroad. An analysis of discrepancies is being made. Errors are being eliminated. We are reviewing each protocol. We have announced the results. We have also announced the names of the MPs. The data is yet to be provided to the municipalities so that bonuses for a correct protocol can be paid. It was about 15 euros per SEC. This was explained by the chairwoman and spokesperson of the CEC Rositsa Mateva on the show "Denyat ON AIR".
According to Mateva, there were no serious signals of violations, recalling that the CEC had announced telephone numbers for submitting signals.
She noted that the only violation that is a crime is a situation in Montana, where a member of the CEC was arrested after filling out 10 ballots that he put in the box - voters who do not live in the country signed them.
"We are yet to receive information regarding the video recording - in how many places it was not available due to lack of internet. We will receive a detailed report on whether there are any CECs where the devices were not turned on. There are about 160 polling stations, but we don't know why," Mateva told Bulgaria ON AIR.
The CEC spokesperson reported that in some places there were signals of short ballots being printed or ballots not being printed at all by a machine.
"No machines were opened. If it is opened or any attempt is made - the machine blocks, cannot work and cannot be voted with it," Mateva emphasized. When asked how the name of Ivaylo Kalushev, who was found dead near Okolchitsa, appeared on the lists, Mateva replied that perhaps someone saw his name on the preliminary voter lists.
"We carried out a check. His death occurred on February 7, but the death certificate was issued on March 18. On March 19, it was processed in the national database and therefore appeared in the preliminary electoral lists, but it did not appear in the voting lists on Sunday," she assured.
Mateva announced that the youngest MP in the 52nd National Assembly (NA) is 23-year-old Anna Bodakova from PP-DB, and the oldest MP who is due to open the NA is 77-year-old Rumen Milanov from "Progressive Bulgaria".
