It is a day of reflection in Bulgaria today before the second round of Bulgarian presidential elections on Sunday.
On the day of reflection before the first round a week ago voters could be choosing between 21 presidential candidates, supported by various nomination committees, parties and coalitions. The possible choice now is between the team of presidential candidate Rumen Raved and candidate for vice-president Iliana Yotova, nominated by an initiative committee and supported by BSP, and the team of presidential candidate Tsetska Tsacheva and runner for vice president Plamen Manushev, supported by the ruling GERB party.
On the day of reflection political propaganda is strictly forbidden. Under the new Electoral Code, for the first time voting for president and vice president is obligatory, but also for the first time voters could choose the option “I do not support anyone.”
