Paragraph 143
 

The existence of appeals on election results may delay the proclamation of final results, but if this process is prolonged excessively over time due to re-run elections in certain polling stations, this may affect public confidence in the electoral process as a whole. Notably, during the April 2022 elections, voting at a single polling station was repeated several times, due to complaints about repeated violations of the election process, and subsequent annulment of the results. As a consequence, establishing final results of the parliamentary elections have been significantly postponed and occurred three months after the elections. This in turn postponed the establishment of the next convocation of the parliament.
