These are the testimonies of the election day of Ivan Maslyankov, chairman of the Section Election Commission in Section 13, in the village of Lower Osenovo, municipality Simitli.

At the polling station in the municipality, Stefan Apostolov, a former football referee and son of the mayor of Simitli – Apostol Apostolov-Poli, got a record number of preferential voting in the fifth consecutive election.

In the last elections on October 2, 2022, over 90% of the votes cast for GERB-SDS in the municipality of Simitli went to Apostolov. Thus, from last on the list, Mr. Apostolov becomes second and thus re-enters Parliament.

Expect more testimonies about violations on the election day.
