After a one-hour break, the repeat voting for the election of the President of the Republic resumed at 1:00 p.m. sharp.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that our assessment is that the process of issuing the results of Sunday's repeat voting is expected to be completed earlier than the first round of the elections. This is partly because of the easier process of sorting and counting the votes, since the number of candidates is much smaller than last Sunday, and partly because of the improved weather conditions that we have today.
So we estimate that if everything goes smoothly, around 7.30 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. we will have the final results. This will be followed by the confirmation process, so that around 9 p.m. we will have the official final results.
According to our schedule, at 10 p.m. the ceremony for the proclamation of the new President of the Republic for the next five years, 2023 - 2028, is expected to take place.
So there are less than 5 hours left until the end of the voting. Therefore, I again urge all voters to come to the polls in time to exercise their right to vote, within the timeframes set by law, i.e. by 6 p.m.
