Today, November 1, 2026, Bulgaria is voting in the second round of its presidential election. The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reports approximately 199,500 eligible voters and 414 polling station commissions in the Veliko Tarnovo region. Information about the vote's organisation has been cross-checked against official notices from the Veliko Tarnovo District Election Commission.<\/p>\n
Voting is scheduled from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If voters are still waiting outside a polling station at 8:00 p.m., voting may continue under the established procedure, but no later than 9:00 p.m. All times are local Bulgarian time.<\/p>\n
According to the commission's figures for the first round, polling stations were distributed as follows: Veliko Tarnovo \u2013 143, Gorna Oryahovitsa \u2013 66, Svishtov \u2013 52, Pavlikeni \u2013 42, Elena \u2013 26, Strazhitsa \u2013 24, Polski Trambesh \u2013 22, Lyaskovets \u2013 16, Zlataritsa \u2013 13, and Suhindol \u2013 10. These figures were published for October 25; they are not new turnout data for today.<\/p>\n
Voters can look up their polling station through the official website of Bulgaria's Civil Registration and Administrative Services Directorate (GRAO). The runoff election lookup allows searches by personal identification number or address; personal information should be entered only on the official government website.<\/p>\n
At the time this article was prepared, polling stations had not yet opened. Actual turnout figures and any changes will be reported only after official confirmation.<\/p>\n
