§ Art. IV-235Making Changes to Information Posters and Information Brochures of Party

Organizations that are Electoral Subjects
 1. In case the territorial election commission decides to cancel the registration of a candidate for
the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, or the respective oblast, rayon, city, rayon
in city, village or settlement council (of a territorial community with 10,000 or more voters) or in the
case if a candidate withdraws from the election in the time period, during which the information
posters and information brochures of party organizations that are electoral subjects are produced,
or after the production thereof, but within the time period, when the remaining time is insufficient
to allow re-printing of information posters and information brochures of the parties that are
electoral subjects, the territorial election commission shall make a decision on making changes to
the information posters and information brochures of a party that is an electoral subject. The
territorial election commission shall immediately communicate such a decision to the respective
territorial election commissions so that the precinct election commissions can make the respective
amendments.
 Such amendments to information posters and information brochures of party organizations that are
electoral subjects shall be made by members of the precinct election commissions of that territorial
election district to the territorial electoral list of candidates in which the respective candidate was
included by applying the “Withdrawn” stamp at a meeting of the precinct election commission.
 In this case, an election commission member appointed by the commission shall affix the
“Withdrawn” stamp to the respective candidate’s number and last name in each information poster of
the respective party organization that is an electoral subject, as well as in each information brochure of
a party organization that is an electoral subject (such stamp shall be affixed in two places: in the unified
electoral list and in the respective territorial electoral list). The stamp shall be affixed in a horizontal
position and shall not cover another candidate’s number and last name.

 

 It shall be prohibited to make amendments to information posters and information brochures of
parties that are electoral subjects without a decision of the respective territorial election commission.
 Each voter shall be informed of the amendments made to information posters and information
brochures of party organizations that are electoral subjects at the time when the ballot paper is being
issued to him or her.
 The form of the “Withdrawn” stamp shall be approved by the Central Election Commission no later
than twenty-six days prior to the day of voting. Territorial election commissions shall, not later than
seven days before election day, ensure the production of such stamps or use stamps that have been made
earlier. The "Withdrawn" stamps are handed over to the respective territorial election commissions or
directly to the precinct election commissions at the same time as information posters and information
booklets of party organizations of parties that are subjects of the election process. Stamps are stored in
the respective territorial election commission.
 The "Withdrawn" stamp shall be handed over by the territorial election commission to all precinct
election commissions simultaneously with the respective decision on making changes to the
information posters and information booklets of party organizations.
 2. If the information posters of a party organization of a party that is subject of the election process
and/or information brochures of a party organization of a party that is subject of the election process
are amended without a decision of the territorial election commission or changes do not comply with
such a decision, the precinct election commission removes and destroys such posters, about which fact
an act is completed at its meeting in two copies. The act shall indicate the number of received
information posters of a party organization that is subject of the election process and/or information
brochures of a party organization that is subject of the election process, the number of seized and
destroyed information posters and/or information brochures and the names of the persons responsible
for it. One copy of this act shall be immediately transferred to the respective territorial election
commission for transfer to the territorial Election Commission of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea,
or an oblast, rayon, city, rayon in city, village or settlement election commission; the second copy shall
be kept in the precinct election commission.
 At the same time, the territorial Election Commission of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea,
oblast, rayon, city, rayon in city, village, settlement election commission decides on providing the
election precinct with the required number of information posters of the party organization that is
subject of the election process and/or information brochures of the party organization that is subject of
the election process. If necessary, the territorial election commission may decide to produce an
additional number of information posters and/or information brochures of the party organization that is
subject of the election process.
 3. It shall, on the day of voting, be prohibited to use the information posters and/or the information
brochures of a party organization that is subject of the election process, in which no amendments were
made pursuant to the decision of the territorial election commission, or in which amendments were
made not in compliance with such a decision.
