Bulgarians vote today, 1 November, in a runoff to choose their seventh president, the Central Election Commission (CEC) said. The race is between Andrey Gyurov and Georgi Kandev on one ticket, and Iliyana Yotova and Kiril Valchev on the other. In Bulgaria, polling stations are open from 7am to 8pm. Any with people still waiting in line will close by 9pm at the latest.

In the first round on Sunday, 25 October, none of the 27 presidential tickets won enough votes to take the race. That evening, a projection by the Myara agency showed Yotova and Gyurov going through to the runoff.

About 6.6m people can vote. Abroad, polling day also runs from 7am to 8pm and can go on until 9pm local time if people are waiting. Polling station addresses abroad are in the CEC's "Izbori 360°" app.

Voters with poor eyesight or difficulty moving around will vote at designated places, most often on the ground floor of buildings that house polling stations.

Voting machines are in 9,373 polling stations in Bulgaria. Of these, 2,249 have two machines, and there are 11,622 machines in total. In a decision on 30 July, parliament said stations with more than 300 voters must use machines only. MPs also scrapped the cap of 20 stations outside embassies and consulates in countries outside the EU.

Polling station commissions, in Bulgaria and abroad, work out the result, draw up a record and hand it to the district commission right after polling day ends. Polling day cannot end before 8pm.

The CEC will announce the final results for president and vice president within three days of the vote, according to the election timetable.
