The law on the election of the Ukrainian president does not foresee situations in which commission members representing one of the candidates are absent at the appointed time for the opening of polling stations or the vote count. In such situations, district election commissions are banned from opening polling stations or from starting to count the vote due to the absence of a quorum. The law passed by the Verkhovna Rada on February 3 foresees such a situation and ensures a mechanism for a guaranteed quorum when people are to vote, [and for when] election commissions are to sum up the result of the election," reads the statement.
Party of Regions statement on the amended laws on election, which Yushchenko signed into law. Its nonsense. The changes in the election law were designed to ease Yanukovych's victory, rather than to prevent election fraud. This is the same party that tried to relax the rules on home voting prior to the first round of the presidential election. This is the same Yanukovych who recently expressed his disdain for democracy. I'm not surprised that Yushchenko signed it, considering his rants against Tymoshenko he clearly sees Yanukovych as the lesser evil.
