The exit poll results of the sociological agency "Gallup International Balkan", a partner of the BNR in covering the vote, show that 6 parties and coalitions would enter the 50th National Assembly.

The agency's data registers the following distribution of votes from early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria as of 8 p.m. on June 9, 2024:

GERB-SDS (ГЕРБ-СДС): 26.7; with such a distribution, the coalition receives 73 seats

PP-DB (ПП-ДБ): 15.5%, or 41 seats;

DPS (ДПС): 15.1%, or 41 seats;

"Vazrazhdane" (Възраждане): 14.7%, or 40 seats;

"BSP for Bulgaria" (БСП за България): 9.8%, or 27 seats;

ITN (Има такъв народ): 6.4%, or 17 seats;

The little-known "Velichie" party presented a surprise in these elections, although it did not manage to pass the 4% barrier. With 3.4%, it managed to overtake the right-wing "Blue Bulgaria" of Vili Lilkov and Petar Moskov /2%/, as well as the new formation on the left "Solidary Bulgaria" of Vanya Grigorova and Maya Manolova /1.3%/.

The turnout for early parliamentary elections for the 50th National Assembly is 32.1%. 3.3% of voters voted with "I do not support anyone".

A total of 20 parties, 11 coalitions and one independent candidate entered the fight for seats in the 240-seat Bulgarian parliament.

Bulgarians abroad vote in 769 polling stations in 60 countries. The most of them are in the Republic of Turkey - 166 sections, in the United Kingdom - 118, Germany - 103, Spain - 64, and the USA - 55.
