Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 4 April 2021 at the end of the term of the National Assembly elected in 2017.[https://www.dnevnik.bg/politika/2021/01/14/4163573_prezidentut_nasrochi_izborite_na_4_april/ Президентът насрочи парламентарните избори на 4 април] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114151242/https://www.dnevnik.bg/politika/2021/01/14/4163573_prezidentut_nasrochi_izborite_na_4_april/ |date=2021-01-14 }} Dnevnik, 14 January 2021 Parties in the governing coalition led by Boyko Borisov lost seats and no party leader was able to form a coalition government within the time limit.

Electoral system
The 240 members of the National Assembly are elected by open list proportional representation from 31 multi-member constituencies ranging in size from 4 to 16 seats. The electoral threshold is 4% for parties, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[https://www.idea.int/answer/ans1303551645461599 Electoral system for national legislature – Bulgaria] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210707030119/https://www.idea.int/answer/ans1303551645461599 |date=2021-07-07 }} IDEA
Parties and coalitions
The incumbent government was a coalition between the conservative GERB party of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and the nationalist United Patriots alliance (formed from IMRO, Attack and the NFSB), with the support of the populist Volya Movement. Together they held 132 out of 240 seats in the National Assembly.
During The Greens' 2020 national meeting, the party representatives voted in favor of a coalition at "the next parliamentary election with the other two members of Democratic Bulgaria". The party representatives voted against a "coalition with any of the political parties in the current National Assembly" - namely, GERB, BSP, DPS, Volya and OP.[https://www.zelenite.bg/18663 Владислав Панев и Борислав Сандов бяха преизбрани за съпредседатели на „Зелено движение“] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024165523/https://www.zelenite.bg/18663 |date=2020-10-24 }} The Greens, 28 September 2020

Analysis
Both GERB and BSP had very poor results and there was a large turnover with a third of the seats taken by parties not represented in the previous parliament.{{cite web|url=https://balkaninsight.com/2021/04/06/election-surprises-end-bulgarias-political-stability/|title=Election Surprises End Bulgaria's Political Stability|work=Balkan Insight|first=Tom|last=Junes|date=April 6, 2021|access-date=April 22, 2021|archive-date=April 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411164956/https://balkaninsight.com/2021/04/06/election-surprises-end-bulgarias-political-stability/|url-status=live}} A central theme in the election was purported corruption in the GERB-led government, which saw GERB lose seats and various anti-corruption parties gain, most notably Slavi Trifonov's ITN, but also DB and ISMV. The Bulgarian Socialist Party suffered from division between its leader Korneliya Ninova and other factions. The BSP recorded their worst-ever result in a democratic election. The far-right parties also suffered from splits, losing their representation in parliament; the Attack party and the two remaining parties from the United Patriots alliance (the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria and Volya Movement) contested the elections separately, with none winning a seat. The three combined results of the three parties suggested they could have crossed the electoral threshold if they had run together.
The election happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated a greater focus on online campaigning. Contrary to expectations, voter turnout was broadly unchanged.
Government formation
After his offer of a technocrat government was rejected by the opposition, Borisov said that as leader of the largest party, he would try to form a coalition government, and that he would also be open to supporting an ITN-led government. However, Borisov himself stated he would likely be unsuccessful in forming a coalition, with the likeliest outcomes being either a caretaker government followed by new elections or a coalition of parties new to Parliament.{{cite web|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/bulgarian-pm-seeks-government-coalition-success-unlikely/31191806.html|title=Bulgarian PM Seeks Coalition Government But Says Effort 'Unlikely To Succeed|work=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty|date=April 7, 2021|access-date=April 22, 2021|archive-date=June 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607062722/https://www.rferl.org/a/bulgarian-pm-seeks-government-coalition-success-unlikely/31191806.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/04/07/bulgarias-election-was-all-about-corruption-not-covid-19-here-are-4-takeaways/|title=Bulgaria's election was all about corruption, not covid-19.
