Out of 173 people who had the right to vote, 145 went to the polls.
Election day passed peacefully and without violations, the OIC added. The day also started in a calm atmosphere and continued without problems. Voter turnout at 11:00 a.m. was 33.18%, and at 4:00 p.m. - 67.63%.
Residents of the settlement voted in a runoff after last week they failed to elect a mayor in the first round.
Partial elections were reached after the OIC prematurely terminated the powers of the mayor of the village Yordan Kleshtanov. The election commission received two letters - from the Central Election Commission and the Council of Ministers, in which it is claimed that he is the owner and manager of a company and chairman of a community center. These circumstances are also established by the ex officio inquiry in the Trade Register, said the OIC - Samokov.
