The National Audit Office reminds: Presidential candidates must declare their donors by September 30, 2026
The Bulgarian National Audit Office has published an important reminder regarding the upcoming presidential elections. All participants in the election campaign are required to submit detailed information about their donors and the sources of funding for their activities.
The deadline for submitting this data is September 30, 2026. The requirement is part of the transparency measures in the country's political life, which aim to ensure that the public is informed about who is financially supporting the candidates for head of state.
According to the rules, candidates must declare both their personal funds and donations from individuals and legal entities. The National Audit Office will verify the provided information to ensure it complies with the legal requirements for financing election campaigns.
Adherence to this deadline is mandatory for all registered participants. Failure to provide information or the submission of false data may lead to serious administrative sanctions under Bulgarian law.
This measure is key to maintaining a fair and open electoral process in Bulgaria. Citizens will have the opportunity to review the reports once the institution has processed and officially published them.
