The coalition is driven by the Swedes / Day Chairman of the CVK

Jurēvics pointed out that both in the coalition and in the parliament as a whole – this time, without even sorting out the position and the opposition – there was a common understanding that the position of head of the CVK should be directed to a person with practical experience in organizing the election.

« This means that the candidate must have experience on the organizational side of the electoral process – counting the voices, organizing polling stations and providing the process, » Jurēvics emphasized.

Given that the candidate should be prepared to start immediately, as the Saeima elections, coalition factions will take place in a little over a year, as well as part of the opposition is ready to support and promote such a candidate, emphasized Jurevics.

The politician noted that members of the Saeima would decide on the approval of the new chairman of the CEC at the meeting on Thursday, June 19.

It has already been reported that a new chairman of the CEC should be sought, as the former chairman Kristīne Saulīte resigned. Currently, several parties have addressed the position of chairman of the CEC.

The Law on the Central Election Commission stipulates that the CEC is a permanent and elected state institution whose responsibilities include the preparation and leadership of the Saeima, the European Parliament, the elections, as well as the referendum and the proposal of the people.

The CEC has nine members. The chairman of the commission and the seven election committees are elected by the Saeima, but one member from the judges is the Supreme Court in its plenary session.

If a member of the commission ends the commission, the Saeima or the Supreme Court shall elect another member of the commission.

It was also reported that Saulīte announced last week at the beginning of the Saeima Public Administration and Local Government Commission that she would resign, but after the meeting he had already thought out, saying she had not yet decided.

However, a little later Saulīte turned to the Saeima Bureau with a statement of resignation. Until then, the Saeima’s ruling coalition factions have also announced that they had agreed on the withdrawal of the sun.

State President Edgars Rinkēvičs announced after the elections that the CEC and the State Digital Development Agency (VDAA) failed to organize the election, so the responsibility of the officials should be assessed.

Inga Berzina (JV), the Minister of Supervisory Administration and Regional Development of the VDAA, has suspended VDAA Director Joren Liop in connection with the elections in the election, but on Wednesday he also announced its resignation.

Liopa has not yet taken responsibility for the technical problems of the Election Night. In parallel, the VDAA has begun a detailed inspection at all levels of the Agency’s responsibility, from directly to the responsible employees for the electoral system, ending with developers and auditors, for the reasons that led to the slowdown in the polls, the agency said.

Meanwhile, the director of the State Chancellery, Raivis Kronbergs, told reporters on Monday after a meeting of the Interinstitutional Task Force that the service is currently undergoing a vote -counting service, as it was initially necessary to collect all the necessary and accessible information about what happened.
