rocedure and deadlines for submitting signature sheets to local Councils
 of Deputies. Determining the results of collecting voter signatures
 Completed signature sheets within the period for collecting signatures provided for in part
four of Article 135 of this Code, but no later than the next day after the expiration of this period,
are submitted to:
 to the chairman of the Minsk City Council of Deputies - when raising the issue of recalling
a deputy of the House of Representatives, a deputy of the Minsk City Council of Deputies;
 to the chairman of the corresponding regional Council of Deputies - when raising the issue
of recalling a deputy of the House of Representatives, a deputy of the regional Council of
Deputies;
 to the chairman of the district, city (city of regional and regional subordination), township,
village Council of Deputies - when raising the issue of recalling a deputy of the district, city,
township, village Council of Deputies.
 The chairman of the relevant local Council of Deputies organizes verification of the
authenticity of voters' signatures on signature sheets, in which deputies and other persons
invited by the chairman of the local Council of Deputies can participate. The verification is
carried out no later than one month after the submission of signature sheets.
 Recognition of voters' signatures in support of a proposal to initiate the issue of recalling a
deputy is carried out in the manner prescribed by parts nineteen and twenty-one of Article 61
of this Code. Voter signatures collected before the registration of the initiative group are also
considered invalid. If the signature sheet contains signatures of voters who do not live in the
territory of the electoral district, these signatures are not verified and are not taken into account.
Voter signatures are also not subject to verification and recording if the signature sheet does
not contain the wording of the proposal to recall a deputy and (or) information about the
deputy in respect of whom the question of recall has been raised.
 If several signatures of the same voter are found in support of a proposal to initiate the
issue of recalling a deputy, only one signature is considered reliable, and the remaining
signatures are considered unreliable.
 After checking the signature sheets, the chairman of the relevant local Council of Deputies,
specified in part one of this article, who accepted the signature sheets from the initiative group,
draws up a protocol on the results of collecting signatures, which indicates the total number of
signatures in the signature sheets accepted from the initiative group, the number of signatures,
the authenticity of which was verified, the number of signatures found to be reliable, and the
number of signatures found to be unreliable. The protocol is signed by the chairman of the
local Council of Deputies.
 If the collection of signatures was carried out by several initiative groups, a protocol on the
results of collecting signatures is drawn up separately for each initiative group, and then a final
protocol is drawn up, which is signed by the chairman of the local Council of Deputies.
 The protocol on the results of collecting signatures is transmitted no later than three days
to:
 The Central Commission - when raising the issue of recalling a deputy of the House of
Representatives;

the regional, Minsk city Council of Deputies;
