§ Article 133(untitled)

uarantees of the rights of a deputy when raising the issue of his recall
 The deputy in respect of whom the question of recall is being raised has the right to be
present at the meeting of voters or to send persons authorized by him to participate in it. The
authority of these persons must be confirmed in writing.
 The chairman of the meeting of voters is obliged to provide the deputy with enough time
to speak to present explanations on the issue under discussion. The deputy's explanations must
be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. On behalf of the deputy, a person authorized by
him or her has the right to speak in his place at the meeting. At the end of the discussion of the
proposal to initiate the question of recall, the deputy or his authorized person has the right to
speak before the start of voting.
 The deputy in respect of whom it is proposed to raise the issue of recall, no later than seven
days before the appointed date of the meeting of voters, can send to the initiators of holding
this meeting, to the chairman of the local Council of Deputies on whose territory the meeting
of voters is planned to be held, to the administration of the organization that made the decision
to convene the meeting, a written statement justifying a valid reason that makes it impossible
for him to participate in the meeting of voters on the appointed day, and propose another day
for holding the meeting within the next 15 days after the appointed date. The initiators of
convening the meeting, the chairman of the local Council of Deputies, and the administration
of the organization must satisfy the request of the deputy and agree with him on another day
for holding the meeting. Repeated postponement of the meeting date at the request of a
deputy is not permitted.
 In the event of a deputy’s illness, which must be confirmed by an appropriate document,
the meeting of voters, upon a written application from the deputy, is postponed to another
date, but no later than 15 days from the date of his recovery. A deputy must send a written
notification of his recovery within three days to the initiators of convening a meeting of voters,
the chairman of the local Council of Deputies, and the administration of the organization. A
meeting of voters can be held regardless of the state of health of the deputy after four months
from the date of the scheduled first date of the meeting.
 A deputy’s refusal to participate in a meeting of voters, as well as his failure to appear at a
meeting without a good reason upon timely notification, is not an obstacle to considering a
proposal to initiate the issue of his recall.
 A meeting of voters may be postponed at the request of its initiators to any other date, if
there is a written consent of the deputy. Postponement of the date of a meeting of voters at
the request of its initiators is allowed only once. The date of the meeting of voters is postponed
in compliance with the requirements of Articles 131 and 132 of this Code.
 If the circumstances that served as the basis for initiating the issue of recalling a deputy are
the subject of consideration in court, the chairman of the local Council of Deputies, the
administration of the organization suspend consideration of the issue of holding a meeting of
voters until the court makes a decision (sentence).
 Persons who provided knowingly false information that served as the basis for raising the
issue of recalling a deputy are liable in accordance with the law.
