**Bulgaria to Allocate €117 million for 2026 Presidential Election**
*Bulgaria – 27 August 2026* – The State Election Commission has announced that approximately €117 million will be required to conduct the upcoming presidential election scheduled for later this year. The budget is intended to cover a range of operational costs, including the preparation and printing of voter lists and the remuneration of election officials at the district and precinct levels.
The estimate was reported by *Bulgaria Weekly* (Вестник България) on Tuesday evening. According to the publication, the funds will also be used for logistical support, security measures, and other administrative expenses necessary to ensure a transparent and orderly voting process.
As of the announcement, several political parties have not yet declared their candidates for the presidency, a factor that could influence the final allocation of resources once the full slate of participants is known.
The article, authored by editor Petya Apostolova, did not provide a detailed breakdown of the €117 million figure beyond the general categories mentioned above. No additional commentary or analysis was offered regarding the source of the funding or potential implications for the election budget.
