President of Bulgaria's Central Election Commission, Stefka Stoeva, Resigns

The chairwoman of Bulgaria's Central Election Commission, Stefka Stoeva, announced to the members of the commission her decision to resign for personal reasons.

The resignation will be submitted to the National Assembly to be voted on next week. Earlier, however, Stoeva objected to an amendment to the Electoral Code, which would transfer full responsibility for the acquisition of voting machines to the commission, informed BNR.

Stoeva continues to believe that the purchase of machinery should be done by the state.
