Meetings and decisions of the CEAZ

1. The meetings of a CEAZ are public.

2. The meetings of a CEAZ are valid when the majority of all CEAZ members participate. Decisions of a CEAZ are made by a majority vote of all the CEAZ members.

The secretary does not have the right to vote.

3. The decisions of the CEAZ are to be signed by all members who took part in the vote. Beside his signature, each of the members of the commission declares his vote “in favour” or “against” and the respective reasoning.

4. The vote of members who have a conflict of interest as provided by point 2 of article 32 of this Code, and who have not been discharged from duty in compliance with that article, is invalid and is not taken into account in determining a quorum.

5. If the CEAZ fails to reach a decision within the respective time limit, the case is to be sent within 24 hours to the CEC for examination by the CEAZ chairman, or by at least two of its members, or it may be appealed to the CEC by an interested electoral subject.
