Here is an effortpost I did so you can be informed:
TLDR for dumb Muricans:
We elect president and parliament today.
The parties:
GERB -Your average Right-wing populist corrupt party. Very shitty, but at least it's pro-EU.
PP - Pretty based new trendy liberal party, the best party that has a chance of winning.
BSP - Cringe former commies. Today they are socialist conservatives.
DPS - cringe and incredibly corrupt turkish minority party that would have been declared unconstitutional if not for one judge being sick. Like to pose as woke libs in EU parliament, really aren't.
DB - unfathomably based coalition of moderate conservatives, neoliberals and greens.
ISMV - see my post, too long to explain
V - fascists
The presidential candidates:
Rumen Radev (BSP, ITN, ISMV, PP) - Kinda succ centrist. He's ok.
Anastas Gerdzhikov (GERB) - He's like his party, but slightly more refined, because he's a university professor.
Mustafa Karadyi (DPS) - A embodiement of his party, first ethnic Turk to be a candidate for president.
Lozan Panov (DB) - He's average, very gaffe-prone and not liked by most DB voters.
Ok, so is there any coverage in English?
No, fuck you, I'm your only source, media monopoly go brrrr.
Though I have semi-legal acess to early exitpolls.
Additionally the EEpolls and politics bulgaria twitter accounts provide pretty good coverage. The former for a lot of memes, the latter for serious stuff.
I highly recommend you read the whole post though, I intentionally oversimplified and dumbed it up here.
In addition to the headlining governor's race, Virginia this year has 91 contested House of Delegate races, numerous County and City elections and ballot measures, as well as elections for our next Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. Polls close at 7 p.m.
