Early parliamentary elections will be held in Bulgaria on 9 June 2024,^[1][2] to elect members of the National Assembly. The election coincides with the European Parliament election on the same day.^[1][2] This Bulgarian parliamentary election was initially scheduled to be held before 12 June 2027; however, as formation and approval of the rotation government scheduled to replace the Denkov Government failed on 20 March 2024, the Bulgarian President, Rumen Radev, announced after having concluded a further second and third failed attempt to form a government among the elected parties, that he would now appoint a new caretaker prime minister and caretaker government tasked to organize a new snap election. The election campaign has been scheduled to run from 10 May until 7 June.^[3] The current 49th Parliament will stay in power until the newly elected candidates are sworn in after the election, but its normal working process was suspended by an adopted election recess on 27 April. While on election recess the 49th Parliament may still reconvene for an extraordinary sitting "in exceptional circumstances", as its Rules of Procedure say.^[4] The elections will be the country's sixth since 2021, and the fifth snap election in the same timeframe.
