The exit poll results of the sociological agency "Gallup International Balkan", a partner of the BNR in covering the vote, show that 6 parties and coalitions would enter the 50th National Assembly.
The agency's data registers the following distribution of votes from early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria as of 8 p.m. on June 9, 2024:
GERB-SDS (ГЕРБ-СДС): 26.7; with such a distribution, the coalition receives 73 seats
PP-DB (ПП-ДБ): 15.5%, or 41 seats;
DPS (ДПС): 15.1%, or 41 seats;

"BSP for Bulgaria" (БСП за България): 9.8%, or 27 seats;
ITN (Има такъв народ): 6.4%, or 17 seats;

With 3.4%, it managed to overtake the right-wing "Blue Bulgaria" of Vili Lilkov and Petar Moskov /2%/, as well as the new formation on the left "Solidary Bulgaria" of Vanya Grigorova and Maya Manolova /1.3%/.
The turnout for early parliamentary elections for the 50th National Assembly is 32.1%. 3.3% of voters voted with "I do not support anyone".
