§ Article 100(untitled)

Provision of mandates to Deputies

1. Provision of mandates to candidates included in the electoral list of a political
 party shall be carried out upon the protocol of the Central Electoral Commission,
 by registering the Deputies of the National Assembly elected from the national
 electoral list and the district electoral list.

 The candidate having received a mandate from the first and second parts of the
 national electoral list shall be removed from the district electoral list, and the
 candidate having received the mandate from the district electoral list shall be
 removed from the first and second parts of the national electoral list as
 prescribed by the Central Electoral Commission.

2. Firstly, mandates shall be provided to Deputies having been elected under the

 district electoral list. Mandates available for a political party at an electoral

 174
 district shall — in the quantity equal to the number of mandates available for the

 given electoral district — be received by the candidates having received the

 maximum number of ballot papers with affirmative vote. In case of a tie of ballot

 papers with affirmative vote, the mandate shall be given by drawing of lots.

 Where there are no sufficient candidates in the given electoral district list of the

 political party, the vacant mandates shall be passed on to the first part of the

 national electoral list.

 Secondly, mandates shall be provided to the representatives of national

 minorities as prescribed by part 9 of Article 95 of this Code.

 Thirdly, mandates shall be provided to the candidates in the first part of the

 national electoral list of the political party in the sequential order. Where as a

 result of it, the mandates of the political party are distributed among

 representatives of the same sex, the last candidate shall give up his or her

 mandate to the candidate under the smallest number from the unrepresented

 sex within the first part of the national list, if any. If the number of candidates

 included in the first part of the national electoral list of a political party is smaller

 than the number of mandates available, these mandates shall remain vacant.

3. The mandate of a Deputy — who has waived the mandate under the district

 electoral list or who has been elected therefrom and whose powers have been

 early terminated — shall be given to the next candidate having received

 maximum votes from the given district electoral list of that political party upon a

 protocol of the Central Electoral Commission, within a 1-week period after

 notifying the Commission. In case of a tie, the mandate shall be given by drawing

 of lots. Where there is no other candidate in the given district electoral list, the

 mandate shall be passed on to the first part of the national list. Where there is

 no other candidate in the first part of the national electoral list, the mandate shall

 remain vacant.

 175
 The mandate of a Deputy — who has waived the mandate under the first part of

 the national electoral list or who has been elected as Deputy therefrom and

 whose powers have been early terminated — shall be given to the next candidate

 in sequence in the first part of the national electoral list of that political party

 upon a protocol of the Central Electoral Commission, within a 1-week period

 after notifying the Commission, and where as a result of it, the number of

 representatives of any sex in the given faction falls below and results in less than

 25 per cent, it shall be given to the next candidate of less represented sex in the

 first part of the national electoral list of that political party, if any.

 Where there is no other candidate in the first part of the national electoral list,

 the mandate shall remain vacant.

 The mandate of a Deputy — who has waived the mandate under the second part

 of the national electoral list or who has been elected as Deputy therefrom and

 whose powers have been early terminated — shall be given to the candidate

 under the smallest number in the list of the same national minority of the second

 part of the national electoral list of that political party upon a protocol of the

 Central Electoral Commission, within a 1-week period after notifying the

 Commission, in case there are no any, the mandate shall remain vacant.

4. Applications for recusal or waiver of the mandate submitted by persons included

 in the electoral list of a political party shall be certified by a notary, or the person

 shall confirm such application at the sitting of the Central Electoral Commission.

 In case of submitting an application for recusal, the name, surname of the citizen

 shall be removed from the first and second parts of the national electoral list as

 well as from the district electoral list as prescribed by the Central Electoral

 Commission.

 Article 101. Calling a repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly,
 declaring election results as invalid

1. Where in the course of elections, such violations of this Code have taken place

 that might have affected the election results, the Central Electoral Commission

 shall adopt a decision on holding a repeat voting in separate electoral precincts,

 where it is possible to remedy the consequences of those violations by such

 measure. Where it is not possible to remedy these violations by such measure,

 elections of the National Assembly shall be declared invalid, and a repeat voting

 for the elections of the National Assembly shall be called.

2. Where in the course of repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly or in

 the course of holding a repeat voting in separate electoral precincts, such

 violations of this Code have taken place that might have affected the election

 results, the Central Electoral Commission shall adopt a decision on declaring the

 elections of the National Assembly invalid and shall call a repeat voting for

 elections of the National Assembly.

3. Where the Central Electoral Commission adopts a decision on holding a repeat

 voting in separate electoral precincts, the repeat voting shall be held on the

 7th day following the adoption of this decision. In this case, the time limits

 prescribed by this Code for summarisation of results of elections of the National

 Assembly shall be calculated from the day of repeat voting.

4. No earlier than 15 and no later than 30 days after the entry into force of the

 decision on declaring the elections of the National Assembly invalid, a repeat

 voting shall be held as prescribed by this Code and with the same composition of

 political parties.

5. In case the results of repeat voting for elections of the National Assembly are

 declared invalid, a new regular election shall be held no later than 70 days after

 the entry into force of that decision. In the event of a new regular election, the

 177
 President of the Republic shall — on the 7th day after the adoption of the

 decision on declaring the election of the National Assembly invalid — adopt a

 decree on setting the voting day.

6. New regular election shall be held by new nomination and in the manner and

 within the time limits prescribed for early elections.
