Video surveillance at 8:00 p.m. was turned on by 682 sections out of a total of 11,653, the Ministry of Electronic Governance (MEG) announced, quoted by BTA. It can be watched live on evideo.bg, the department states.
From this moment, for the next half hour, signals for the video broadcast will be sent to the Central Election Commission (CEC), the MEU and the regional election commissions every five minutes, and after 20:30 - every 10 minutes.
The cameras are turned on immediately after the chairman of the section declares the election day over, the department explains. The devices must be plugged into a charger and placed so that each ballot and the completion of the protocol can be clearly seen.
If the connection is interrupted, the device continues to record offline. After the end of the count, the recording is uploaded to our servers and is accessible to everyone, the ministry added.
In the previous elections, 98% connectivity of the devices was achieved.
Over 99% of the voting machines in the country are working normally, and the registered signals of technical malfunctions are for less than 1 percent of all devices, the ministry announced earlier today.
