Legal consequences of the control of the result protocols

If during the check of result protocols performed by members and deputy members of the Republic Electoral Commission and local electoral commissions, or if during the sample control of result protocols, it is established that the content of the election material and the result protocols do not agree, the local electoral commissions shall issue a decision on correcting the result protocols.

If during the check of result protocols performed by members and deputy members of the Republic Electoral Commission and local electoral commissions, or if during the sample control of result protocols, it is established that there are irregularities which constitute a reason for the ex officio annulment of voting at the polling station, the local electoral commission shall issue a decision annulling the voting at the polling station.

If there is a reasonable suspicion that the huge discrepancy between the content of the election material and the result protocols is a consequence of conscious and intentional activity aimed at establishing a false election result, the Republic Electoral Commission shall press criminal charges against members of the polling board with the competent public prosecutor’s office.
