The State Election Commission (SEC) rejected the objection of the Civic Alliance for Change, which requested a repeat vote at a polling station in the Podgorica settlement of Donja Gorica where the voters who voted by letter did not sign, claiming that those voters provided them with notarized records that were SEC accepted as proof that they voted.
Six voters who voted by letter were not identified as having voted, that is, they did not sign, and the Law on the Election of Councilors and Deputies provides for the annulment of the vote if it is determined that the number of ballots in the box is greater than the number of voters identified in the extract from the voter list that they voted. For the same reasons, voting was repeated earlier in Petnjica and Ulcinj. From the Citizens' Alliance for Change, they say that the SEC included notaries in the election process with this procedure.
"Following the SEC's logic, voters would not have to sign the voting paper, but would be able to submit notarized records after the election. It is possible that according to the SEC, voters can also vote at a notary, and not at a polling station," said the alliance of SDP and Demos.
It is a special topic, say the Civic Alliance for Changes, where the voters who voted by letter know about the procedure that is conducted based on objections and that it is their vote that is the basis for these objections.
"Imagine, these voters allegedly found out about all this and organized themselves to have their statements notarized, while paying expensive notary fees and handing over the documents to the SEC, which on the basis of that issues a negative decision, of course, which is in favor of the DPS and partners", they state from the Civic Association and add that they are persons who could not vote at the polling station for objective reasons, but by letter, but that is why they allegedly performed all this notary procedure themselves in record time.
