04-02-2010 12:47 Yushchenko inks new law on presidential election
President Viktor Yushchenko has signed the amendments to the law on presidential elections regarding the work of election commissions.
The parliament passed this instrument on February 3 at the initiative of the opposition Party of Regions. The document excludes a requirement from the current law that there should be a quorum of two thirds of election commission members, who should sign protocols on the results of voting in the second round of the presidential election on February 7. Presidential candidate, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko says the amendments will be tremendous for the election process. As a result, the election will be 'unfair and uncontrolled', she believes. As reported, Central Election Commission Deputy Chairman Andriy Mahera earlier slammed amendments to the law on the presidential election, because the cancellation of a compulsory quorum of two thirds of election commission members could result in the "appearance of two commissions" at some polling stations.
