A simulator on the online page of the Central Election Commission (CEC) shows how to vote by machine.

It is available to all citizens who want to see in advance how voting is done by machine in order to be prepared for the parliamentary elections on 2 October.

Everyone can practice an unlimited number of times. 

The simulator is titled "Machine Voting Simulator October 2, 2022" and is located on the CEC's online home page, on the right.

Once it is selected, a new page opens on which a machine is visualized.

On it is written "National Assembly Elections October 2, 2022."

, as well as "Place the card in the lower slot of the machine".

The card in question is located in the upper left corner of your screen.

After clicking on it with the mouse, hold and move it to the opening of the machine.

The ballot will appear on the device.

It includes names of demo parties and coalitions, as well as their numbers.

At the bottom of the page there is a next option to continue.

The application for voting abroad is already on the CEC website

You can also go back with the "previous page" option if you want to change your selection.

For preference selection, candidate numbers are located on the right hand side of the ballot.

After you have made your choice, you have a view option, which is located in the bottom right corner of the ballot. 

In case you have not marked a party, coalition or independent candidate, the "View" option will take you "back to the ballot" to make your choice.

If you have already made your choice, pressing the "View" option will give you two options - to vote or change your choice.

If you press "Change Selection", the simulator will return you to the ballot again and the procedure is repeated until a vote is cast.

If you select "Vote", you have already cast your vote and you will receive a receipt from the machine. 

The receipt is placed in the Receipt Box, which is visualized on the left side of the screen - https://www.cik.bg/suemg_02.10.2022/
