In addition, the precinct electoral commission counts the votes, considers appeals and complaints about the course of the preparation for elections and organization of voting and takes decisions on them.

The seminar participants discussed issues pertinent to equipping the polling stations, setting up “Mother and Child” rooms and medical sites, creating necessary conditions for an effective work of commissions.
