Marin Yotov from Berlin expects politicians to be willing to compromise in order to form a government

"So far we have not encountered any difficulties. There are machines in all polling stations and people vote more or less equally by machine and on paper. All those who come are very hopeful that there will be a change and that Bulgaria can move forward. This is what motivates them to vote in the first place."

A known issue that may affect turnout, according to Marin, is that students in Berlin are currently on vacation and some parents may be out of town.

The news Marin expects to hear at the end of election day is that politicians will be willing to compromise so that a government can be formed that is in the best interests of Bulgaria and its citizens.
