First results after Bulgarian parliamentary vote

Gallup: We Continue the Change-DB receives 25.6%, GERB-SDS – 24.8% in Bulgarian parliamentary elections

The exit poll results of Gallup International Balkan, a partner of the BNR covering the vote, show that 5 parties and coalitions are certain to enter the new 49th parliament, and one is near the threshold. The agency's data registers the following distribution of votes from early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria as of 7:00 p.m. on April 2, 2022:

"We Continue the Change" - "Democratic Bulgaria": 25.6%

GERB-SDS: 24.8%

"Vazrazhdane": 14.2%

MRF: 13%

BSP: 10%

"There is Such a People": 4%

"Bulgarian Rise" and "The Bulgarian Left" remain below the 4 percent barrier to enter the parliament with results of 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively.

Voter turnout in the elections for the 49th National Assembly was 37.4%. 3.8% of voters voted with "I do not support anyone".

4,566 candidates nominated by 15 parties and 7 coalitions are competing for a seat in the 240-seat Bulgarian parliament.

Bulgarians abroad vote in 737 polling stations in 61 countries. The biggest number of them were opened in Turkey - 162, in Great Britain - 118 sections, in Germany - 74, in Spain - 64, in the USA - 56.

Bulgarians in New Zealand were the first to start voting. Due to the time difference, the election day abroad will end last in California, USA - at 06:00 Bulgarian time on Monday, April 3.
