As in all elections, there can be no tension now.

On the other hand, what we get as a picture at the moment from the preliminary surveys - this parity between GERB and PP-DB also keeps us in tension.

This is what he said in the show "Who's talking?"

on Darik radio, the political scientist from the sociological agency "Trend" Evelina Slavkova.

"It is important for any polling agency to know the election results and the order. There is no serious polling agency that wants to mess up the results so that it can then bear the weight of being wrong. But there are such situations that do not allow, in after all, sociology has its limitations. Now the big question is who will be the first political force. Parity at the moment makes the situation very difficult to predict," added Evelina Slavkova.

"Purely professionally, the preparation for the exit poll and parallel counting keeps me in tension," said the sociologist from the Market Links agency Dobromir Zhivkov.

"What for me personally remains a more serious question mark is the controlled vote - any vote that is not authentic. With the return of the paper ballot the estimates are different, it is difficult to arrive at an accurate estimate of how much the controlled vote, the bought vote. It could be 3%, it could be 7%, it could be 8%, it could even go to 9, we can't estimate. This is the thing that could not only fundamentally change the battle for the top spot, but also the distribution down the chain." , the sociologist also commented.

Evelina Slavkova expressed the opinion that the vote from abroad is not without importance.

"We have had situations in these two years where it is seen that the vote from abroad did not lead to any general upheaval, but certainly in a situation where things are on the edge, these votes have a special meaning. This vote is not spectacular, but it can lead to a completely different political situation," the political scientist pointed out.

Dobromir Zhivkov is of the opinion that the current elections will certainly be of worse quality than the previous ones.

"In the elections of the last two years, we are digging the bottom. At some point, the legitimacy of a government will simply not be recognized, because too few people will have voted for it," commented Evelina Slavkova for her part.
