Tabulating the Voting Results by the District Electoral Council


(1) Following the receipt of Protocols and reports presenting the voting results in the polling stations from the Precinct Electoral Bureaus, the District Electoral Council shall first establish voters’ turnout. The District Electoral Council shall promptly report this figure to the Central Electoral Commission. If the voters’ turnout throughout the constituency is less than required to declare the elections valid in that constituency, the District Electoral Council shall notify the Central Electoral Commission about such fact. Either the Central Electoral Commission or the District Electoral Council shall make a public announcement by which it declares the elections invalid for the entire country or for that particular constituency.


(2) Based on Precinct Electoral Bureau Protocols, the District Electoral Council shall establish, with respect to the entire constituency:


a) the number of voters included in voters’ lists;


b) the number of voters included in additional lists;


c) the number of ballot papers issued to voters;


d) the number of voters who voted;


e) the number that reflects the difference between the number of ballot papers issued and the number of people who voted;


f) the number of invalid ballot papers;


g) the number of valid votes cast for each electoral competitor (for each question put up for referendum);


h) the total number of valid votes cast;


i) the number of ballot papers received by the District Electoral Council;


j) the number of unused and cancelled ballot papers.


(3) The District Electoral Council shall record the results of vote tabulation for the entire constituency in a Protocol, which is signed by all District Electoral Council members. The latter shall also have the possibility to provide written comments to be attached to the Protocol. Copies of the Protocol on elections results tabulation shall be handed to the representatives of candidates and to observers upon their request.


(4) The District Electoral Council shall submit the Protocol containing elections results tabulation in the constituency to the Central Electoral Commission within 48 hours after the Polling Station closure. When submitting the Protocol to the Central Electoral Commission, the District Electoral Council shall display a detailed information at the entrance of its office containing elections results within the constituency.
