In accordance with the requirements of the times

Deputies of the Supreme Council adopted the draft law on amendments to the Criminal Code in first reading, which increases liability for falsification of election documents and obstruction of the free will of citizens. However, the effect of these rules of law will not be extended to currently going campaign for the election of the head of state.

Some of the rules of criminal law amendments again in the regime of legislative necessity was suggested to the president. According to it, members of the electoral commissions of electoral violations should be punished under criminal law. This, in particular, the possibility of such an offense, as the inclusion in the voter lists of persons who are obviously aware of the death. It is classified by the head of state as falsification of election results. The President also proposes to prosecute persons who have passed ballot to another person, as well as attempts to vote more than once at the same election. The idea is that the political technology circles is called "carousel" (from the polling station shall be made a clean sheet, which is constantly changing again after filling in the blank).

Introducing legislations by the president of his authorized representative Irina Barbarosh, deputies asked questions: Is there a reason to state about violations of the electoral legislation in the form of "carousel", if they are not installed and proven in court? Who and how will prove the commission of such offenses? Despite the fact that clear answers to these questions, except that this "case of the investigating authorities, only now introduced the offense of" not followed, parliament decided to support the submitted draft law on amendments to the Criminal Code in the first reading.

However, people's deputies intend to amend the draft law amendments criminalizing attempts to employers for the second reading, regardless of the form of ownership of the enterprise (organization, institution), to exert pressure on freedom of expression in the course of voting.
