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:
