Bulgarians have gone to the polls for a second time in three months, hoping the political parties can this time agree on a stable government coalition.
Voting began on Sunday at 7am (04:00 GMT) and closes at 8pm (17:00 GMT) with exit poll results expected shortly after.
After almost 10 years in power, the conservative GERB party of three-time Prime Minister Boyko Borisov came out first in the last election in April with 26 percent of ballots.
