Confirms the results of local elections / day

If one of the parties or candidates wants to appeal the election results, this can be done within three business days by contacting the CVK. So, the results can be appealed until the end of Wednesday, June 11, the end of the working day.

Vaivars also explained that the elected municipal deputy may abandon the mandate, but it is imperative to accept it first to put it.

Thus, if one of the current members of the Saeima elected to one of the municipalities, for some reason, will not want to be a municipal deputy, he will first have to lower the Saeima deputy’s mandate and accept the mandate of a municipal deputy, which can then be placed. This person will therefore no longer be a member of the Saeima or the municipality.

As reported, counting votes in the 2025 local elections on Saturday and night on Sunday faced technical problems. Problems in polling stations, facing technical problems were also during the week when the previous voting took place.

At present, the service test of votes has not begun, as it is initially necessary to collect all the necessary and accessible information about what happened, Raivis Kronbergs, director of the State Chancellery, said journalists on Monday.

He said that last week he had « had such a confidence » that everything would work properly because there was no indication that something could go wrong. « If we weren’t convinced of that, we would have made decisions faster, » he added and once again stressed that there was no indication that « the system could not pull ».

Kristine Saulīte, a spokeswoman for the Central Election Commission (CEC), said -« If there was the least indication that the systems were not ready, or something might not work in any way, then those in charge would have been ready to decide to count the votes manually. »

« We had no indication, so we went ahead with a plan, » Saulite said.

The head of the CEC pointed out that all election results have been approved and there is currently no reason to believe that the results would not be accurate. There are « multiple checks systems » to ensure the accuracy of the results, she said.

Speaking of her responsibility, Saulīte said she was ready to take full responsibility for what her competence is, but is currently talking about technical competences that are not in the CVK responsibility.
