According to the Code, the inaccuracies are being used as one, but not the only criterion, to assess whether the election is valid or not. Article 116(5) on the constituency part of the National Assembly elections (Article 86 provides a similar rule for presidential elections) states:
“A member of parliament’s election shall be declared void, if:
1) The magnitude of inaccuracies is greater than or equal to the difference between the numbers of ballots voted for the two candidates for whom the largest number of “for” ballots was cast, or, in case one candidate ran, the magnitude of inaccuracies is greater than or equal to the difference between the number of votes cast for and the number of votes cast against that candidate, which significantly affects the outcome of elections, i.e. it is impossible to establish the real results of the election and to determine the elected candidate; or
2) During the preparation and conduct of elections, such violations of this Code have taken place, which could have influenced the outcome of elections.”
