Procedure for determining inaccuracy

1. The 1st margin of error shall be calculated based on comparison of the sum of the number of voting slips received from voters and the number of unused stickers with the number of stickers allocated to the PEC. The difference, in the absolute value of the number, shall be indicated as the scale of the first margin of error.

2. The 2nd margin of error shall be calculated based on comparison of the total number of voting participants with the sum of the numbers of valid and invalid ballot papers in the ballot box.
If the sum of the numbers of valid and invalid ballot papers in the ballot box is higher than the total number of voting participants, the difference in the absolute value of the number shall be indicated as the scale of the 2nd margin of error. Otherwise, the amount of the second margin of error shall be indicated as “0”.

3. The level of margin of error in the electoral precinct shall be equal to the sum of the 1st and 2nd margins of error.

4. The level of margin of error in the electoral precinct shall be calculated and recorded by the election commission responsible for summarisation of the election results, by using the “Elections” automated system.

5. In case of declaring the voting results in the electoral precinct as invalid, the number of voting participants in that precinct shall be recorded as the total level of margin of error in the precinct.

6. While drawing up the protocol on the voting results, the total number of voting participants of the precinct where the voting results are declared as invalid shall be correspondingly added to the voting results of the remaining precincts. The other results (numbers) of the protocol of the electoral precinct where the voting results are declared as invalid, except for the level of margin of error, shall be recorded as “0”.
