Election moratorium extended in two regions
The election moratorium during the combined municipal and regional elections was extended on Saturday in the Banská Bystrica and Košice regions. In the Banská Bystrica region it will last until 8:30 p.m., while in the Košice region it will last until 8:50 p.m. This was reported by the chairman of the State Commission for Elections and Control of Political Party Financing, Eduard Burda. teraz.sk ↗
Originally, it was assumed that the moratorium would also be extended in the Žilina region. According to current information, however, it so far applies only in two regions. The reason for the extension in the Košice region was a 50-minute interruption of voting in one of the municipalities. Refresher.sk ↗
In Banská Bystrica, a case also emerged in which 40 ballot papers intended for the Banská Bystrica region were found in Bratislava. Further details of this case, as well as how the ballots ended up outside their region, have not yet been disclosed. mybystrica.sme.sk ↗

The extension of the moratorium means that in the affected regions, election results and related information may not be published until the specified time. Further developments will depend on the completion of voting and the processing of data in the polling stations.
