04-02-2010 15:56 New presidential election law won't break voting, but trigger confusion
The amendments to the law on the presidential elections adopted by the parliament will not break the election, although they will generate confusion for precinct election commissions, Oleksandr Chernenko, the head of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine (CVU), has told in an interview to Deutsche Welle.
The expert called the amendments 'absurd' since they 'abolish the quorum as an essential attribute of a collegial body'. Chernenko reminded that experts warned about a threat to election failure through artificial absence of the quorum even last summer. But the initiator of this revision - Party of Regions - insisted on the amendments only when this turned to threaten their interests. 'If the political forces will be adopting laws just because it is advantageous, so here arises the question: and what about the constituent?'. The political scientist did not rule out that the amendments will trigger concern of European observers who recommended even after the first round not to change the law in a hurry.
