Chaos Reported at Bulgaria's Voting Polls on Election Day

Chaos Reported at Bulgaria's Voting Polls on Election Day

Utter chaos and confusion have ruled a large number of voting polls across Bulgaria Sunday, which was the day of presidential and local elections.

The Bulgarian National Television, BNT, reported about disarray, long lines and people passing out at voting sections in the capital Sofia. The same information has arrived from the Black Sea city of Burgas.

BNT also aired a video showing members of electoral commissions in Sofia going home with ballots that they did not account for. They have explained it with outrage from poor organization on the part of the Regional Electoral Commission making them stay until 3 am in voting polls and then wait for hours to sign off and deliver their protocols. They have also threatened that they would not return to work next Sunday when runoff elections are to be held at many locations. --->>>
