During the closed part of the meeting, which was attended by the president's secretary on legal affairs and anti-corruption, Plamen Uzunov, focus of discussion was placed on not allowing corporate vote in state-owned companies.

The regional governor of Pernik, Dr. Simeon Vassilev, has requested that an experimental machine voting be held in Pernik, because many people will be voting for the first time using machines and a broad explanatory campaign was needed.
