Article I.
 

LAW FOR AMENDING AND COMPLETING CERTAIN LEGISLATIVE ACT


Allocation of mandates in the national constituency


(1) The mandates shall be attributed to the candidates from the electoral candidates’ lists by the Central Election Commission in the order of their registration in the lists.


(2) Candidates included in the lists of candidates who have passed the representation threshold established in art. 89, but not elected are declared candidates on the reserve list. The candidates on the reserve list shall be declared elected by the Constitutional Court, upon the request of the Central Election Commission, in the event that, for certain reasons, a parliamentary mandate owned by a party, socio-political organization or electoral bloc becomes vacant. A candidate on the reserve list may refuse a parliamentary mandate by submitting a written statement to that effect to the Central Election Commission.


(3) If a party, other socio-political organization or electoral bloc gets more mandates than the number of candidates entered in the list, this party, socio-political organization or electoral bloc shall be allotted a number of mandates equal to the number of candidates in the list.


(4) The remaining MP mandates are reallocated to other parties, socio-political organizations or electoral blocs in the way set forth in art. 90 para.


(5). The same procedure shall be used in case of subsequent vacancy of mandates, if the electoral candidate does not have reserve candidates.
