"No software can be installed on the voting machines to change the results", said the Minister of e-Government, Alexander Yolovski, BGNES reported.
Yolovski gave an extraordinary briefing after from "There is such a people" party announced in the parliament that, according to a report by State Agency of National Security (SANS), there was abuse of the voting machines. An extraordinary Council of Parliamentary Groups Chairs was immediately convened, and all the chairs took a stand on the matter.
Yolovski and Deputy Prime Minister Maria Gabriel will also attend the Chairs' Council.
The e-goverment minister dismissed allegations of ready manipulation of machine voting on Sunday.
"The security of the current vote is guaranteed by the following - the machines practically work like printers. They print a receipt on which the vote cast by each voter can be seen. Subsequently, the Central Election Commission and before that the Sesctional Polling Stations (SPS) counted the votes based on the submitted receipts. These are the facts", said Jolovski.
He defended his deputy, Mihail Stoinov, to whom he personally assigned back in September the functions of fulfilling all the rights of the Minister of e-Government in connection with the certification of the type of voting machines. /BGNES
