Calling a repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly, declaring election results as invalid


1. Where in the course of elections, such violations of this Code have taken place that might have affected the election results, the CEC shall adopt a decision on holding a repeat voting in separate electoral precincts, where it is possible to remedy the consequences of those violations by such measure. Where it is not possible to remedy these violations by such measure, elections of the National Assembly shall be declared invalid, and a repeat voting for the elections of the National Assembly shall be called.


2. Where in the course of repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly or in the course of holding a repeat voting in separate electoral precincts, such violations of this Code have taken place that might have affected the election results, the CEC shall adopt a decision on declaring the elections of the National Assembly invalid and shall call a repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly.


3. Where the CEC adopts a decision on holding a repeat voting in separate electoral precincts, the repeat voting shall be held on the 7th day following the adoption of this decision. In this case, the deadlines prescribed by this Code for summarisation of the results of elections of the National Assembly shall be calculated from the day of repeat voting.


4. No earlier than 15 and no later than 30 days after the entry into force of the decision on declaring the elections of the National Assembly invalid, a repeat voting shall be held as prescribed by this Code and with the same composition of political parties.


5. In case the results of repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly are declared invalid, a new regular election shall be held no later than 70 days after the entry into force of that decision. In the event of a new regular election, the President of the Republic shall — on the 7th day after the adoption of the decision on declaring the election of the National Assembly invalid —adopt a decree on setting the Election Day.


6. New regular election shall be held by new nomination and in the manner and within the deadlines prescribed for early elections.
