The Central Election Commission (CEC) is sending the prosecutor the video recordings of the ballot count in 7 polling stations where there is a discrepancy in the number of votes counted. 

The prosecutors will have to check whether there is evidence of falsification of documents. This was announced by CEC Chairperson Kamelia Neykova. CEC vice-president Rositsa Mateva gave an example of discrepancies at one of the polling stations. In the recording, 14 votes were counted for one formation, but the CEC protocol says that the formation has "0" votes, while 14 votes were added to the figures of another formation.
