105,000 Bulgarians abroad voted by 3:00 p.m. Bulgarian time, the foreign ministry has reported. In the previous elections on October 2, about 97,000 people exercised their civil right by this hour.

In Turkey, where the number of polling stations is the highest, about 50,000 Bulgarians voted, which is 5,000 more than the previous vote. In Ankara, the share of the machine voting is over 80%, our special envoy to Turkey, Mira Stefanova, reported.
