One of the political coalitions participating at the forthcoming two-in-one elections on November 14 announced that there was a new unregulated supply of voting machines in Bulgaria and noted that it had doubts about the legitimacy of the elections. The supplier of the voting machines Ciela Norma told the BNR that this was fake news. The 199 machines stored in the company's private warehouse are not new, the company's Executive Director Veselin Todorov said. He sent a letter to the Central Election Commission asking the sommission to allow Ciela Norma to use a total of 427 devices for spare parts.

The Central Election Commission has informed this country’s caretaker Minister of Interior about the machines in question. An inspection began by order of Minister Boyko Rashkov. There is an increased police presence in front of the company's warehouse.
