Zhytomyr Administrative Court of Appeal has ruled that the District Election Commission in single-member district #63 was acting illegitimately when receiving and considering the electoral documentation from precinct election commissions, and obliged it to re-count the votes.
Such decision was based on a lawsuit and complaints of MP candidate Pavlo Zhebrivskyi.
Candidate's press-service informed: "Due to the evident and systematical violations of electoral legislation committed by the District Election Commission, proxies and official observers of Zhebrivskyi appealed to the court, and their demands were satisfied after some days of meetings."
Besides that, the court has repealed the protocol on the results of voting in ED #63, compiled on 29 October 2014.
Head of the DEC #63 Oleksandr Antonovych says: "We will gather commission members on a meeting and decide how and when to do re-count. The meeting is to be held on 6 November."
It should be mentioned that the DEC #63 was among the first commissions in Ukraine that determined election results. The Commission announced that Oleksandr Reveha, who had only 800 votes more that candidate Pavlo Zhebrivskyi, has won on 27 October before midday.
We remind that a week ago the court has twice refused to satisfy an appeal filed by MP candidate in ED #67 (Chudniv) Volodymyr Kropyvnytskyi, who demanded that the DEC should make a selective re-count.
