Voting

According to the latest figures of Alpha Research polling agency, the voter turnout in the referendum on the introduction of remote electronic voting, which is taking place in Bulgaria simultaneously with the local elections on Sunday, has reached 35.3 % as of 18 o'clock EET.

Simultaneously with the local elections taking place on Sunday, Bulgarians are also voting in a referendum on the introduction of remote electronic voting.

The referendum was initiated by Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliv and initially was foreseen to feature three questions on the introduction of compulsory voting, majority voting and remote electronic voting.

 Voter activity was nearing 20% in a national referendum Bulgaria is holding alongside local elections, a polling agency has said.

Bulgarians are asked to have a say on whether online voting should be allowed as a recognized method in elections and nationwide polls.

No serious incidents or violations have been reported by Sunday noontime (EET) as Bulgarians are casting ballots in local elections and a referendum on online voting.

Bulgarians are voting in 2015's local elections on Sunday to pick mayors and municipal councilors.

They are also having their say on electronic voting, which some politicians say will not replace "tradiitonal" election methods but will boost activity and encourage turnout all around the globe, with more than 2 million Bulgarians living outside the country.

The Gezi Park movement was full of all colors, not the mono-color they want to paint Turkey with; it was a movement where people who wanted some things to be changed moved together without questioning and judging who was who.
