The Supreme Court of Justice on August 17 will announce whether the Central Election Commission's decision to set up polling places abroad is legal or not. The Commission's decision to open over 40 more polling places abroad was challenged by the jurist for the Communists Party Sergiu Sarbu, Info-Prim Neo reports. On August 16, Sergiu Sarbu appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice, demanding overturning the Chisinau Court of Appeals' decision passed a week ago, which says that the opening of polling places abroad is in accordance with the law. The jurist told Info-Prim Neo that his appeal was examined today and a final decision will be pronounced tomorrow. “We demand that the CEC's decision be annulled because it was adopted later than allowed and because there is no written agreement between the Government of Moldova and the countries where polling places will be set up,” Sergiu Sarbu said. “If the court is objective, it will take a correct decision.” The Communists consider that by opening additional polling places abroad, the Government intends to rig the results of the September 5 constitutional referendum. The authorities denied the accusations, while the CEC issued a statement, saying the PCRM's assertions are groundless.
