The decision of the CEC is an attack on the conduct of fair and democratic elections, it is illegal, said Vasil Pandov.

"After the CEC’s decision, the Ministry of Electronic Government said that that the voting machines comply with the requirements of the Electoral Code. The CEC's decision has a single motive, that the machines do not comply because there is no decision of the ministry. In fact, the CEC did not wait for the Ministry to issue its decision. We will appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court against the CEC's decision. We believe that lawfulness will prevail. The deadline expires tomorrow and the CEC did not wait for it," said Vasil Pandov.
