Bulgaria to Observe Daylight Saving Time Change on Election Day

On October 27, election day in Bulgaria, clocks will be set back one hour as the country transitions to winter time. This means that voters will enjoy an extra hour of sleep on that day.

While smartphones, tablets, and computers will automatically adjust to the new time, some devices may require manual changes.

Bulgaria Turned the Clock Back an Hour

On the night of Saturday against Sunday, October 31 at 4 o'clock in the morning we returned to winter time. At 4 o'clock on Sunday night, the clocks were turned back an hour.

In March 2019, the European Parliament voted to abolish the seasonal shift. Member States shall decide whether to switch to full daylight saving time.
