Meetings and Decisions of the ZEC



Meetings of a ZEC are public, except as provided in article 110 of this Code.



Decisions of a ZEC related to the registration of candidates and to the declaration of results and winners, are taken by a two-thirds vote of all the ZEC members. Other decisions are made by a majority vote, with the presence of more than half of the members entitled to vote.



Decisions shall be signed obligatorily by the chairman and the deputy chairman.  Decisions are accompanied by the opinion of the minority. Each of the members of the commission, beside his signature declares his vote “in favor” or “against”.



In case the ZEC fails to reach a decision, the case is sent immediately for examination to the CEC, whose decision is implemented by the ZEC. The CEC decides in conformity with article 30, section 5 of this Code.
