The inconclusive results of the Central Election Commission from the national referendum held on Sunday suggest that the majority of voters gave affirmative answers to the three questions in it: 73.84 percent agree that MPs should be elected under a majority representation election system with an absolute majority in two rounds. 63.7 percent have supported compulsory voting in elections and referendums. Asked whether they support a state subsidy released to political parties and coalitions to the tune of 1 lev (50 eurocents) instead of the current 11 levs (5.5. euro) paid for every real vote won, 73.6 percent have said they support a much lower subsidy.
