Electoral College rejects PJIU request for ballot counters

The Electoral College judge panel rejected their request by leaving the Central Electoral Commission decision in act.

The law provides that the second biggest party of any coalition is allowed to have ballot counters. The PJIU claimed to have one counter in four, which would allow the ruling coalition to have three out of four members of ballot counting groups.

The issue was created after the PJIU, a party that has come out of a right centered coalition, is now running with the left centered coalition.

After some voting sessions at the CEC, this party was left outside both coalitions.

To not lose the balance between the majority and the opposition, three members proposed by the left centered and the Chairwoman of the CEC voted to have the ballot counters from the Republican Party, a decision that was not approved by the opposition in CEC, since they supported another variant.
