VIDEO Briefing of the Day: How and under what conditions parliamentary elections can be held repeatedly

The Electoral Code stipulates that elections are considered invalid if fewer than one-third of registered voters participate.

Elections can also be annulled if the Constitutional Court identifies violations during the voting process or in the counting of ballots.

In such cases, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) organizes a repeat vote using the same electoral lists and candidates within two weeks. Competitors who committed illegalities are sanctioned and excluded from the electoral race. The repeat vote is considered valid regardless of voter turnout.

If the election is still declared null after the repeat vote, the CEC sets a new date for fresh elections, which must be held between 70 days and three months from the date of invalidation.

All new parliamentary elections are conducted in full accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Code.
