The Electoral and Administrative Codes Amendments

The Supreme Council adopted amendments and additions to the Electoral Code and the Code of Administrative Offenses in the second final reading. We are talking about updating the electoral legislation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic: the responsibilities of international observers, the powers of members of election commissions and guarantees of their labor rights are specified. It is provided that if a voter cannot fill out a ballot himself due to disability or health reasons, he has the right to use the help of another voter to do this. The Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates liability for violating the established requirements for using the newsletter. If a voter took a photo or video of a completed ballot and posted it on the Internet or took the ballot out of the voting premises, then he will face a fine of 75 to 100 minimum wages (1380 - 1840 rubles).

Deputies of the Supreme Council Galina Antyufeyeva, Grigory Dyachenko and Ilona Tyuryaeva proposed to adjust the current norms of the Electoral Code and the Code of Administrative Offences. The parliamentary corps supported the legislations in the course of the plenary session, taking into account the editorial and clarifying amendments prepared by the Legislation Committee.
