Interest in the runoff and in the first round of the presidential election: is there a difference?
Published
A question has appeared on social media: are people more interested in the runoff than in the first round of the presidential election in Bulgaria? The post does not contain official data on voter turnout and does not answer this question.
A runoff is a second round of voting. It is held when no candidate receives the required majority of votes in the first round. The two candidates who received the most votes take part in the second round.
To answer the question, the official data on the number of voters in the two rounds need to be compared. This information is published by the Central Election Commission. The post on the social network only raises the question and does not present facts.
Voter activity may differ between the first and the second round. The reasons for this may vary, for example interest in the candidates or the overall political situation. However, the source does not state specific reasons.
Readers can check the data themselves on the official website of the Central Election Commission and compare the results of the two rounds.
