And these local elections the number of invalid ballots peaks. The “specialty” of this edition will be the vote for the municipal council – people en masse filled in this ballot wrongly, marking a preference without first filling in which party list they preferred. In places, the share of invalid votes exceeds 20%.
The vote in Sliven is very telling. Thus, with 98% of the protocols processed in the vote for mayor, the invalid ballots are 1,588 out of 35,948 or 4.5% of the votes. In the vote for municipal councilors, however, the counted invalid ballots were 7,432 out of 35,188 who voted for this type of election. That makes 21% invalid ballots.
The picture is similar in other municipalities of the country. IN Godech with 100% processed protocols, invalid votes for mayor are 62 out of 2,591 – 2.4%, but for municipal council invalid ballots jump to 541 out of 2,567 – again 21%.
IN Bansko with 99.67% of the protocols processed, 270 out of 7,109 or 3.8% ballots for mayor, invalid votes for municipal council are 1,071 – 15%.
IN Gorna Oryahovitsa with 100% processed protocols and 20,744 people voting for mayor, there were 619 or 2.9% invalid ballots. However, the invalid votes for municipal council lists are 2,541 or 16.1%.
There are many invalid voices and in Plovdiv. With 59.2% of the protocols processed, the invalid votes for mayor were 1,272 with 54,265 people voting or 2.3%. The invalid votes for the municipal council were 5,700 with 52,865 voters – nearly 11%.
