Paragraph 144
 

The Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters provides for annulment when “irregularities may have influenced the outcome, i.e. affected the distribution of seats”. Almost all electoral systems establish the principle that if the invalidity of the vote in one or more polling stations may affect the result, a new vote will be required. In line with this, the decision adopted in Serbia to re-run elections in some polling stations is a correct solution according to international standards.
