Voter turnout in Bulgaria at 1 pm was 23.54%, the spokesperson of the Central Election Commission Alexander Andreev announced. In 2015 voter turnout at 1 pm was slightly higher- 25.71%. According to data of Gallup sociological agency, higher voter turnout was registered in the cities of Plovdiv and Blagoevgrad and lower voter turnout was registered in Varna and Kardzhali.
