Pavlov said that between 3 and 3.2 million voters will go to the polls in the upcoming elections. "We need to wait until the beginning of April, so that we can make a more accurate forecast. There is an increase of 400-500,000 voters compared to the last elections. Many of those who did not vote last time, will do now, and it will be for Rumen Radev's formation," added the director.

Nearly half of likely voters believe that a government will be formed after the elections. About 27% hold the opposite view, and just over 25% are undecided, the survey reports.
