This resolution of the Central Election Commission is a technical act aimed at updating the personal composition of territorial election commissions. The document amends the previous CEC Resolution No. 179 dated August 14, 2020, in connection with a change of the surname of an election commission member. In effect, the decision ensures that the official data regarding the commission’s composition corresponds to the individual’s actual documentary records.
The structure of the resolution is standard for acts of individual application: it contains references to the legal grounds (the Law “On the Central Election Commission”), the direct operative part regarding the change of surname, and instructions concerning the procedure for notifying the relevant authorities. Compared to the previous version, the change is exclusively clarificatory in nature and does not alter the status or powers of the individual, but merely brings the registration data into compliance with the fact of the surname change.
The most significant provision for practical application is Item 1, which legitimizes the activities of the commission member under the new surname (Valentyna Ivanivna Tsymbal instead of Valentyna Ivanivna Poberezhets). This is important for ensuring the legal clarity of decisions adopted by the territorial election commission, as any discrepancy in personal data may serve as grounds for challenging minutes or other electoral documents.
