The adoption of the protocols of the sectional election commissions (SEC) in Sofia has begun. In “Arena 8888 Sofia“ first came representatives of the CEC from 23 Multi-mandate electoral district (MIR), a BTA reporter saw. Later, SIK representatives from 25 MIRs also started to hand over their protocols.
In “Asics Arena“ also started the adoption of the protocols. In the hall, the SIK of the 24th MIR will present their protocols.
There are 1638 polling stations in Sofia, 12 stations are for voting with mobile ballot boxes, 38 are service stations in medical facilities, homes for the elderly and other specialized institutions for the provision of social services. /p>
The acceptance of the protocols started quietly and slowly, unfortunately, not many SECs have come, the chairperson of the Regional Election Commission (REC) Polina Vitanova said at a briefing. By 10:00 p.m., only 40 committees had submitted their minutes.
Again, there are bugs, not many so far, because these are removable SICs after all. We still can't see if there are many errors. The errors are cumulative, she explained. Polina Vitanova predicts that the acceptance of the protocols will not end before tomorrow morning.
There were problems with the machines again. Machine voting was suspended in 12 sections, Polina Vitanova also said. Over 300 are the sections in which there was no ballot in the machine again, only a sound signal, blank ballots or fragments of ballots, Vitanova added.
