Criteria for the recount of ballot papers



No later than 24 hours after the declaration of the result in the electoral unit, the interested subjects have the right to request a recount of the votes for candidates for deputy or for mayor of a municipality or commune, if the margin between the votes of the candidate  who came first and the candidate who came second is smaller than the total number of invalid ballots rejected during the counting of the ballots, or if the above margin is 150 votes or less. The request is submitted to the chairman, deputy chairman or the secretary of the LGEC or ZEC.



The ZEC or LGEC organizes and begins the recount of the votes no later than 24 hours from the declaration of the decision on the recount.
