The caretaker government will make every effort efforts to make the elections fair and free, said acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev during the parliamentary blitz control in the National Assembly.

He answered a question from the People's Representative from the BSP Borislav Gutsanov, who announced that he had information about 1,200 people being taken to the same address in the village of Stamboliyski, as well as a case in the village of Belo Pole, Blagoevgradsko, where 10,000 were being taken people at one address, and the village has 600 inhabitants. On "Struma" street 2, in one substation, 4,000 people are registered in this village, said Gutsanov.

The deputy asked if GRAO planned to check suspicious address registrations against the background of the expected low voter turnout, as such cases could have a huge impact on the upcoming vote on October 27.

The caretaker prime minister replied that the caretaker government plans to take the necessary measures to prevent vote tampering.

A check will be carried out for the specific examples, Glavchev emphasized. We will do whatever is necessary to make the elections transparent, fair and free, and if there are doubts that could taint the integrity of the vote, we will act uncompromisingly and swiftly. He called on the people's representatives to report and added that he learned about these 1,200 registered at one address in Stamboliyski from the media. Action will be taken on each of the signals, assured the prime minister.

He emphasized that even greater efforts will be made, since the situation is also slightly different, additional efforts will be needed. Yesterday, at the meeting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I told them that they should make more and more efforts so that the Bulgarian voter is confident that his vote goes where he wants, said the caretaker prime minister. According to him, after the elections, if information is given that somewhere there was a falsification of the vote, it will be "a hood after the rain".

The point is to monitor what is happening before and during the elections, but not to forget that the elections are mainly organized by the election commissions, respectively by the Central Election Commission, reminded Dimitar Glavchev.
