The Bill (Reg. No.1278) creates favourable conditions for a speedy resolution by The Central Election Committee of matters relating to the replacement of a People's Deputy, in those cases when an early Termination of a Deputy's Authorities takes place free of any conflicts.
Clauses 99 and 101 of this Law shall be amended to read that in the event of an early termination of authorities of a People's Deputy of Ukraine on the basis of his personal application, by a Court ruling or in the event of his/her death, the Central Election Committee shall take a decision recognizing the next in line Deputy Candidate elected no later than the next day after receiving the relevant documents to confirm said circumstances.
Yu. Kliuchkovsky, The Committee Vice-Chairman, noted that the decision on the Registration of a Deputy Candidate recognized as elected is taken by The Central Election Committee no later than the day following receipt of the Candidate's full documentation, as required by Law.
It was also emphasized at the Meeting that a temporary Certificate of The People's Deputy of Ukraine should be issued to an individual Registered as a People's Deputy of Ukraine no later than the day following his/her Registration.
The Committee Members believe that the Passing of this Bill will contribute to reducing the level of conflicts in The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and also improve its capability.
