Paragraph 58
 

Article 97 par 9 sets out three possibilities of how the Constitutional Chamber may reach a decision following its preliminary conclusion, each requiring the votes of the full composition of judges:


(a) If the President and the Jogorku Kenesh agree with the Chamber’s conclusion or do not reply within the three month consideration period, the Constitutional Chamber shall adopt the decision on the unconstitutionality of a law, or part of a law, by the majority of at least one half of the votes.
(b) If either the President or the Jogorku Kenesh disagrees with all or parts of the conclusion, a two-thirds majority is necessary to reach a decision.
(c) If the President and the Jogorku Kenesh both disagree with all or parts of the conclusion, the Chamber requires a three-fourths majority to uphold its preliminary conclusion.
