Nationwide Vote Buying Raids in Bulgaria Ahead of April Elections

Bulgarian police launch a nationwide operation targeting vote buying ahead of April elections, with checkpoints and searches in multiple cities and districts.

Bulgarian authorities are conducting a large‑scale nationwide operation to crack down on vote buying in the run‑up to the April 2026 elections. Police have set up checkpoints and are carrying out targeted searches in several cities, including Stara Zagora’s Lozenets district, as part of coordinated efforts to deter attempts to bribe voters. The operation involves multiple law‑enforcement units and is being presented as a major push to protect electoral integrity, amid concerns about corruption and organized influence on the vote. Officials stress that ongoing checks will continue in the coming days, aiming to identify and sanction individuals or groups attempting to purchase votes or exert improper influence over the electoral process.
