# Bulgaria's repeated elections and anti-corruption deadlock

Early parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 9 June 2024, to elect members of the [National Assembly](/organizations/national-assembly). The election coincided with the European Parliament election on the same day. This parliamentary election was initially scheduled to be held before 12 June 2027; however, the planned rotation agreed to by GERB and PP–DB failed to materialise in March 2024, and no other government could be formed.
