Vote counting records of constituency electoral committees and municipal electoral committees


1. A constituency electoral committee or a municipal electoral committee shall count the votes by summing up the data submitted by the polling district electoral committees. The constituency electoral committee or the municipal electoral committee shall check whether the results of the polling districts for each constituency published in the information system of the Central Electoral Commission match the data of the vote counting records, consider separate opinions of the members of the polling district electoral committees, remarks of the election observers and complaints of the voters, and take decisions thereon.


2. Based on the vote counting records of the polling districts and, where necessary, on the ballot papers and other election documents, the constituency electoral committee or the municipal electoral committee shall establish and enter the following data in the vote counting records of the constituency electoral committee or the municipal electoral committee:


1) the number of voters of the territory covered by the electoral committee;


2) the voter turnout, indicating the voter turnout in the single-member constituency and/or the multi-member constituency;


3) the number of valid and invalid ballot papers (in multi-member constituencies and/or single-member constituencies);


4) the number of votes cast for each candidate, the number of votes cast for each list of candidates and the number of preference votes cast for each candidate on the list of candidates.


3. The vote counting record of the constituency electoral committee or the municipal electoral committee shall be signed by the chair of the electoral committee, their deputy, secretary, and members of this committee. Persons who disagree with the data of the vote counting record shall also sign the record and attach their separate opinion(s) to the record, which constitutes an integral part of the record.


4. An extract or a copy of the vote counting record of the constituency electoral committee or the municipal electoral committee shall be presented to the members of this committee and the election observers upon request.
