Polling stations opened in 60 countries. In the US, people voted in 21 states and Washington, and stations on the West Coast were the last to close.
The UK had the most polling stations outside Bulgaria. Nearly 17,000 people voted there, more than in the first round, and the gap was tiny: 49% for Gyurov and 48% for Yotova.
Voting in the UK passed without incident, and it was also calm in the other European countries.
One voter in the US said he wants a head of state with a European face, who represents Bulgaria in Europe and is a normal person. A female voter in the US noted that the constitution gives the president few powers, but that as someone who can unite the country, the president can do a lot.
One voter in the UK wants a well-coordinated policy with Europe and other partners, because he believes the country's future lies there.
A female voter in the UK hopes for more peace, because many ships have been attacked in the Black Sea in recent weeks. She hopes the president will represent Bulgaria in the best way abroad.
