There are 45,752 voters in the biggest polling station in Bulgaria. All of them were registered on the same address - 6 Lege Street, Sofia, the address of the Sredets District Administration, confirmed the Mayor of Sofia’s Sredets district Traicho Traikov. "By law, the permanent address of those who have taken Bulgarian citizenship and live abroad coincides with the address of the district administration," Traikov explained for BGNES. Most names on the list have Macedonian endings. People with proven Bulgarian origin were granted Bulgarian citizenship.

"I often see these people when they receive administrative services in the area. However, the ballot papers are likely to remain untouched, as always,” said Traicho Traikov.
