Summary/Abstract: The article presents the contemporary debate about political and suffrage transfor-mation in Bulgaria. Bulgarian political and electoral system evolved between 1990–2009. It is worth noting that it is still characterized by minimal political and party stabil-ity. The swing of the electoral preferences is large, which results in changes in the run-ning of the cabinet. It means that the political system is unconsolidated. By contrast, the Bulgarian electoral system is multimandate and underwent a number of reforms. A great deal of attention in legislation is given to the financial support for election campaigns and to complement it with the d’ Hondt method.
