concerned.

4. The CEC shall ensure the posting of summary protocols of polling results on the CEC website at the same time when summary protocols from
electoral precincts are received. The Electoral Administration officers shall be prohibited to make announcements about preliminary results of elections,

CEC website. At the same time, if electoral precinct results have been appealed to the court as defined by the legislation of Georgia, the CEC shall be
obliged to make proper note thereof in the respective protocol published on the website immediately after the official notification.

9. In any elections, after receiving from DECs the documents defined in Article 75(10) of this Law, the CEC shall process the documents within 40 days
after polling day and draw up a separate document for each case: each document shall contain a certified copy of the respective page of the log-book and
the attached relevant documents. The materials shall be transferred to the Agency not later than the 45th day after polling day. The agency shall study
the materials in order to verify the identity of the persons in question. If the verification reveals that a person participated or attempted to participate in
the elections with counterfeit or other person's documents, the person shall be held liable under Article 1642 of the Criminal Code of Georgia.
