Changes to the Electoral Code: new role of commission secretary

The law introduces a new position of secretary in each precinct electoral commission, responsible for ensuring the smooth running of voting and vote counting. The secretary will have higher qualifications and receive a higher allowance than the commission chairperson. These changes aim to improve the work of commissions and increase trust in elections.
Key points
Each precinct electoral commission will have a secretary – a person with higher education and experience in administration or a certified teacher.
The secretary will be responsible for key tasks: counting ballots, conducting voting, preparing the protocol, and entering results into the system.
The secretary will receive an allowance of 130% of the chairperson's allowance.
The secretary is appointed by the electoral commissioner upon the request of the mayor (city president).
The secretary cannot be a member of a political party or have a criminal record for intentional offenses.
The new rules will take effect 14 days after publication but will apply only to elections called after 6 months from the law's entry into force.
