Invalidation of election results

1. The Central Electoral Commission shall invalidate the constituency election results under the following circumstances:

1) where the Central Electoral Commission establishes that gross violations set out in Article 193 had a material impact on the election results;

2) where the Central Electoral Commission establishes that falsification or loss of election documents had a material impact on the election results;

3) where the Central Electoral Commission establishes that it is impossible to determine the election results on the basis of vote counting records or other election documents;

4) where the Central Electoral Commission establishes that, in first round of voting in a single-member constituency with only two candidates standing for election, the first runner-up is elected; and the candidate who stood in the run-off voting in a single-member constituency and received the highest number of votes has died or had his or her passive right to vote restricted.

2. The results of the election shall be deemed inconclusive or materially affected in the following cases:

1) where, in a single-member constituency, it is impossible to identify an elected candidate or candidates standing for run-off voting;

2) where, in a multi-member constituency, it is impossible to establish the lists of candidates to take part in the distribution of mandates, or where the number of mandates allocated to a list of candidates may be determined at the accuracy of only more than one mandate.
