The vote was held among 25 candidates
25 candidates were admitted to the election procedure. In the first vote, held on October 24, not a single representative was elected, as no one received more than half of the valid votes.
In the second vote, the four candidates with the highest support are considered elected. The election commission stated:
„The four candidates who received the most support are considered elected.“
1,567 prosecutors had the right to vote in the procedure. 1,363 people voted in the first stage, and the election continued with a second vote, as provided for in the rules for the election of members of the Supreme Judicial Council from the professional quota.
The decision can be appealed
The election of Plamen Petkov, Ivaylo Iliev, Ivaylo Angelov and Krasimira Filipova is not yet final. The decision of the election commission can be appealed within seven days.
The four will represent the prosecutors in the new composition of the Supreme Judicial Council, if the election is not successfully challenged. The professional quota is one of the quotas through which the composition of the council is formed.
