Section 35
 

Filling vacant positions in election commissions


(1) If the mandate of an elected member of an election commission was terminated for any of the reasons listed in Section 34 (1) a)-c) or f), their place shall be taken by the alternate member who is next in the list in the motion for electing alternate members – or, in the case of polling station commissions, the one selected by the head of the local election office.
(2) If there is no alternate member, the body of representatives of the settlement's municipality or the Capital city or county general assembly, or, in the case of the National Election Commission, Parliament, shall elect a new member.
(3) If no new member was elected to the election commission, the procedure set forth in Section 26 shall be applied. If in the case set forth in Section 26 a) the parliamentary single-member constituency election commission is not operating, the local election commission shall act in its place, and if in the case set forth in Section 26 b) the territorial election commission is not operating, the National Election Commission shall act in its place.
