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. Traditionally, by this time, voters from smaller towns and villages, the elderly and the loyal voters cast their ballots, Gallup notes.
