1893 Bulgarian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections in Bulgaria


Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 30 July 1893.[1][2] Following changes to the constitution earlier in the year, the number of members of the National Assembly was reduced.[1]

The elections were marred by riots in Peshtera, where attempts were made to steal the ballot boxes and assault the presiding officer.[3] Violence also occurred in Belogradchik, where attempts were made to prevent the polling station closing until supporters of one candidate had arrived.[3] Voter turnout was low, largely due to indifference in rural areas where national politics was not considered of importance.[3]
