Article 70
 

1. When receiving the official papers for the support of nomination the Central Electoral Commission counts the total number of the collected signatures and gives out a receipt to the person authorized to submit the official papers.

2. Falsified signatures and signatures belonging to a person without the right to vote, as well as the signatures of those voters, whose data has been entered onto the official papers wrongly, are considered as invalid.

3. The Central Electoral Commission verifies the validity of signatures by a two per cent selective verification of the actual number of signatures in each booklet. To this end the Central Electoral Commission:

1) In the procedure established by itself for drawing a lot receives the numbers of the two per cent of signatures from the total number of signatures available in the given booklet. The protocol thereof contains the numbers of signatures subject to verification in the official paper for the support of each nomination with the data of the citizen;

2) As a result of verification a protocol on the invalid signatures shall be compiled, mentioning the number of the official paper, number of signatures and the data of citizens;

3) The relationship of valid and invalid signatures in the two per cent of the total number of signatures proportionally extends to the total number of signatures, thus getting the number of valid and invalid signatures within the total number of signatures. A protocol is compiled on the results of the verification.

Upon the request of the candidate or his/her plenipotentiary representative, the copies of all the protocols on the verification of the validity of signatures are promptly handed to him/her.
