The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has extended invitations for international observation of the presidential and vice-presidential elections of the Republic of Bulgaria scheduled for October 25, 2026. The action taken is “in fulfilment of commitments under the Electoral Code in order to ensure the conduct of fair, free and democratic elections”.

Invitations have been sent to the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, as well as to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. If the organizations accept the proposal, the Foreign Ministry will propose to the Central Election Commission to register their representatives as international observers for the upcoming elections.
