Bulgaria will hold on Sunday a national referendum on the voting system, election rules, and state subsidies handed out to political parties.

The national poll will coincide with the presidential elections, whose first and second round are scheduled for November 06 and November 13, respectively.

Here is all you need to know in brief.

While most Bulgarians support the upcoming referendum on changing the political system, which will be held alongside presidential elections on November 6, polling data suggest a high degree of confusion over what people are being asked to endorse.

The "I do not support anyone" votes will be counted when determining the outcome of the presidential elections. Deputies in the legal commission took this decision without any debates with 10 votes "for" and 6 abstentions.

It is expected that amendments to the Electoral Code will be approved in Parliament at second reading on Wednesday.

Initiative committees, parties and coalitions which do not receive a state subsidy and, by law, have the right to media packages of up to BGN 40,000 for "for" and "against" campaigns for the presidential elections and the referendum on November 6 can cover their participation in national TV stations and radios only.
