Problem with the machine has been fixed

At the instruction of the deputy chairman of the commission, an interim report was made. It showed that the vote had already been counted, and after the check, voting continued normally.
A total of 414 polling stations were opened in Veliko Tarnovo region. There are machines in 309 of them, with 37 polling stations provided with two devices due to the number of voters. In the remaining 105 polling stations, voting is only possible with paper ballots.
In parallel with election day, residents of Pavlikeni protested against the decision not to allow the new express trains to stop at the local station. “Two municipalities and three cities are affected. Pavlikeni Municipality issued a declaration in defense of citizens and we were supported by a number of civil organizations. "6 thousand signatures have been submitted by the mayor of the municipality," said one of the protesters.
