The certification of the voting machines for the early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria on October 27 has been completed. The final step involved the trusted build of the software for the voting machines and the generation of a hash code. This code will appear on the control receipt when the devices are started on election day and will be printed at the end of each ballot, reported BNT.
The process was carried out in a controlled-access room at the Ministry of Electronic Governance by Central Election Commission representatives in the presence of representatives of political parties and NGO’s. Minister of e-Government Valentin Mundrov reported that there were no vulnerabilities in the software.
