Bulgarians vote in a snap election, following the resignation of a Socialist-led government in July; the number of parties in the National Assembly grows from four to eight, and the centre-right GERB becomes the biggest party but falls short of an overall majority. Voter turnout is just about 50%, lower than at any time since the establishment of democratic rule in 1989. (The Economist)
The election race ends with its final counting indicating a second-round between candidates Dilma Rousseff and Aécio Neves to be decided in poll by voters at the end of the month. (The Washington post)
