"None of the machines are connected to the internet, there's no way 11,030 machines could be affected."

This was stated by the spokesperson of the Central Election Commission, Rositsa Mateva, to BNT.

She explained that the CEC for the second time decided to count 100% of the receipts, because there is very strong talk in the public space by various experts that the software can be manipulated, despite explanations that a sample would be enough.

Thus, in her words, it is guaranteed that it cannot be claimed in any way that manipulation of the machines is possible.

"This will still delay the procedure, but the elections of November last year have shown that it is not so much after all", specified Mateva.

Voting machines have already arrived in several countries

She said that there is no legal basis to open mobile sections only for quarantined persons, as there is no epidemic emergency in place.

These people can submit applications to the municipal administrations to be able to vote through a mobile section formed for people with permanent disabilities.

Tomorrow, it will be discussed how the people who are quarantined in a populated place, where there will be no mobile section, will vote.
