This follows from the clarification adopted at a meeting of the Central Election Commission on Thursday.
According to Deputy Head of the CEC Maria Stavniychuk, the clarification is being provided in connection with the fact that an appeal from MP Volodymyr Pikhota was received by the commission.
It states that in certain regions of the country, members of election commissions are spreading information about the impossibility of voting if errors in the lists are not eliminated at the initiative of voters in advance.
In this regard, the CEC provided a clarification in which it effectively repeated the article of the election law according to which "the secretary and the head of the commission have the right to correct errors and inaccuracies" if it is clear that the person who appeared at the polling station to vote is the one included in the list.
Such inaccuracies and technical slips include incorrect spelling of the surname, first name, patronymic, date of birth, and place of residence.
At the same time, a discussion arose around the point of the CEC clarification regarding including translation errors among such inaccuracies.
One of the authors of the election law, MP Yuriy Klyuchkovskyi, noted that he "sees nothing wrong" if the CEC clarification also applies to errors that arose as a result of translation from Russian to Ukrainian.
