The Central Election Commission (CEC) decided to send to the Constitutional Court (CC) the data received from Information Services related to the case challenging the legality of the elections for the 51st National Assembly held on October 27, 2024. The decision was made during a CEC meeting on Wednesday. Thirteen CEC members voted in favour of the proposal, while two voted against.
CEC Chair Kameliya Neykova said that Information Services had submitted the results of the activities assigned by the CEC on Tuesday, in compliance with the ruling of CC of February 26.
The Central Election Commission (CEC) said Tuesday that it has given election services provider Information Services until 9 a.m. on Wednesday to recalculate the results from the October 2024 parliamentary elections.
The Constitutional Court has been approached by several parties challenging the lawfulness of the October 27, 2024 elections. As part of the case it opened, the Court hired experts to do a new count of the ballots in 2,204 polling stations and once the recount was done, it instructed the Central Election Commission to recalculate the results. CEC, in turn, asked election services operator Information Services to do the recalculation. On March 10, Information Services said that all relevant paperwork had been provided to the prosecuting magistracy. In an unprecedented statement, the Court said that providing the election papers to the prosecuting magistracy without its permission hinders its efforts to conclude the case challenging the election results.
