Guarantees for Functions of a Member of a Constituency Election Commission.



The Chairman and Secretaries of a Constituency Election Commission shall be provided with salary from the State budget, during his/her term of office. The members of the Constituency Election Commission shall receive compensation from the State budget, within the period from the day of publication of the authorized state body’s decision on determination of elections (referendum) to the day of publication of the election (referendum) results, as well as during annual drafting of voters’ lists. The salary the member elected to the Constituency Election Commission receives from the place of employment, serving at the structures, enterprises, organizations or institutions funded from either the state or local budget, shall be preserved.





During elections (referendum) the member of the Constituency Election Commission cannot be detained or be subject to criminal liability or administrative measures as determined by the court, without consent of a relevant district prosecutor (“district prosecutor” here shall be understood as the public prosecutor of the district covering the major part of territory of the election constituency). A member of a Constituency Election Commission can be arrested only if he/she is caught in the act of crime. In this case, the body arresting the member of the Constituency Election Commission shall immediately inform the Central Election Commission and the relevant district prosecutor about the matter.





Expenses of a member of a Constituency Election Commission for use of inter-cities transport and any public transport (except taxi and ordered journeys) within the country during elections (referendum) shall be paid from the funds allocated by the Constituency Election Commission, upon presenting the documents on travelling.
