The elections were held to elect the 7th Grand National Assembly, tasked with adopting a new (democratic) constitution. The new electoral system was changed from 400 single-member constituencies used during the Communist era to a split system whereby half were elected in single member constituencies and half by proportional representation.Nohlen & Stöver, p. 356 The result was a victory for the Bulgarian Socialist Party, the freshly renamed Communist Party, which won 211 of the 400 seats. The Grand National Assembly drafted the country's fourth constitution, which was promulgated on 12 July 1991. The first elections under the new document were held three months later. Three Romani people were elected to the Constitutional Assembly in the 1990 election: Manush Romanov from the Union of Democratic Forces and Sabi Golemanov and Petar Aleksandrov from the BSP.Popov Veselin Marušiakova Elena 1 December 2000 The Bulgarian Gypsies – Searching their Place in the Society Balkanologie 4 2 11 10.4000/balkanologie.323 1279-7952 1965-0582 free Results File:Bulgaria Grand National Assembly 1990.svg Proportional Constituency Bulgarian Socialist Party 2887766 97 2775465 114 211 New Union of Democratic Forces 2217798 75 2188547 69 144 New Movement for Rights and Freedoms 491597 12 498017 11 23 New Bulgarian Agrarian National Union 368929 16 326420 0 16 −83 Patriotic Party of Labour 36668 0 47713 1 1 New #00FA9A Alternative Socialist Party 22064 0 125343 21 0 0 New Alternative Socialist Alliance 16061 0 0 0 New Liberal Party – Pernik 15034 0 0 0 New Union of Disabled 10466 0 0 0 New Union of Non-Party Members 9978 0 0 0 New Parliamentary Movement for the Tarnovo Constitution 8354 0 0 0 New Non-Party Members for Democracy Movement 8195 0 0 0 New Political Opposition Bloc (Centre) 6043 0 0 0 New Bulgarian National Democratic Party 4723 0 0 0 New Union of Democratic Parties and Movements "Era-3" 4521 0 0 0 New Bulgarian National Radical Party 3827 0 0 0 New Christian Republican Party 3534 0 0 0 New Social Democratic Party Non-Marxists 3036 0 0 0 New Union of Non-Party Guarantees 1929 0 0 0 New Bulgarian Christian Democratic Party (Centre) 1563 0 0 0 New Bulgarian Revolutionary Youth Party 640 0 0 0 New Free Democratic Party 586 0 0 0 New United People's Union 334 0 0 0 New National Patriotic Union 319 0 0 0 New Organisation of the Ill and Weak 287 0 0 0 New National Party of Labour 249 0 0 0 New Fatherland Front 32192 2 2 −274 Social Democratic Party 20225 1 1 +1 #FF0000 Independents 76197 2 2 −23 208833 244296 6976620 6976620 0 University of Essex, Rose & Munro, Duverger, Stoichev, 168 Chasa References Constitutional Bulgaria Category:Democratization Category:Elections in Bulgaria Bulgaria Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results Category:Constituent assembly elections in Europe
