"Democratic Bulgaria" will appeal with the administrative court the decision of the Central Electoral Commission to enter the voting data after the counting of the votes from the paper and machine ballots together in the polling stations protocols. This is what Bozhidar Bozhanov from "Democratic Bulgaria" told Nova TV. According to the former minister of e-governance, the two ballots - from the paper and machine voting - should be counted separately for better quality control of the election results.

According to caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev, quoted by BNT, there is no possibility of manipulating the results when the two votes are collectively recorded. However, he pointed out that it would be good to register the results separately to see what proportion of people chose to vote by machine.
