The draw that will determine the order in which parties and coalitions will appear in the integral ballot at the upcoming general elections in Bulgaria has been postponed for April 9, the country's electoral body has announced.
The draw was initially scheduled for April 5.
The postponement had been prompted by last-minute changes made by parties and coalitions, the Central Electoral Commission explained Thursday.
Some parties have decided to leave registered coalitions, while others have asked their registrations to be canceled.
The center-right government of former PM Boyko Borisov resigned amid massive anti-poverty protests in February, prompting President Rosen Plevneliev to adjourn the Parliament, appoint a caretaker Cabinet and schedule snap elections for May 12.
