Voting to elect Bulgaria’s new president began with voters casting their ballots in Sofia on Sunday.
The incumbent Rumen Radev is poised for re-election, winning 49 percent of the first round of voting last weekend.

Special mobile COVID election units also implemented to allow those with the virus to still partake in the election.

The President in Bulgaria is a mostly ceremonial role, but Radev has transformed the role and has championed a campaign to end rampant corruption in the Balkan nation.

If elected, Radev will serve his second term.
