The October 27 elections were the seventh early elections since 2021.

Bulgarians went to the polls to elect members of the 240 seat national Parliament three times in 2021, once in 2022 and once in 2023.

Today's vote was the second one in 2024.

Only two of the previous parliamentary elections in the past three years have produced an elected government, neither of which came close to serving a full term.
