Poll: 51% of Bulgarians say they plan to vote in parliamentary elections

About 51% of Bulgarians say they plan to vote in the parliamentary elections scheduled for 19 April 2026, according to a nationally representative survey by Gallup International Balkan.

Conducted between 10 and 28 February 2026, the poll surveyed 800 adults via face-to-face tablet interviews and suggests a possible new parliamentary configuration and redistribution of voter support. The research was funded by the agency itself.

Rumen Radev is in the lead with 29.8% of the vote, but this level of support is not currently enough for an outright parliamentary majority. GERB–SDS ranks second with 19.6%, maintaining a stable core electorate. We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria is in third place with 11.0% of the vote, but support for the alliance is declining.

DPS–New Beginning follows closely behind with 10.9% of the vote, while the nationalist party Vazrazhdane received 6.0%.

Several parties remain below the 4% parliamentary threshold: MECH with 3.3%, BSP–United Left with 2.9%, There Is Such a People with 2.8%, Velichie with 2.2% and APS with 1%.
