Bulgaria opens a record high number of polling stations abroad for July 11 general elections

A record number of polling stations abroad (791) will be opened for the early parliamentary elections on July 11. This was decided late Friday night by the Central Election Commission.

Most stations will be in the UK - 135, followed by Turkey - 121, and Germany - 116.

The large number of polling stations abroad is due to the latest amendments to the Electoral Code, which lifted the limit for their number abroad.

Bulgarians will be going to the polls on July 11 after the three biggest political powers elected in the April 4 regular parliamentary elections failed to form a government.
