At least 25% of Bulgaria's voters would agree to sell their votes to any political party in exchange of humble sums of money, a new poll has found out.

According to the poll, conducted by the "Mediana" agency, 10% of the Bulgarians surveyed have admitted they would agree to sell their vote for BGN 100 (approximately EUR 51) during the upcoming presidential and local elections, both scheduled to take place on October 23 in the country.

Additionally, 15% have declared they would agree to sell their votes if the "deal" is worth BGN 300.

"Mediana"'s expert Kolyo Kolev, however, has stated that "many more" Bulgarians would agree to be bribed during the elections.

A mere 15% of the Bulgarians surveyed have said they believe the elections will be fair.
