The Supreme Court of Ukraine recognized the actions of the Central Election Commission to establish the results of the presidential election and compile the protocol of election results dated November 24, 2004 as unlawful and recommended holding a repeat vote.
The Civil Chamber for Court Cases of the Supreme Court ruled to partially grant the complaint of the authorized representative of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, Mykola Katerenchuk, regarding the actions or inaction of the Central Election Commission. In particular, the Supreme Court decided to annul the Central Election Commission resolution No. 1264 of November 24, 2004 "On the Results of the Election of the President of Ukraine on November 21, 2004 and the Election of the President of Ukraine," as well as the Central Election Commission resolution No. 1265 of November 24, 2004 "On the Publication of the Results of the Election of the President of Ukraine."
The Supreme Court obligated the Central Election Commission to schedule a repeat vote for the election of the President of Ukraine within the timeframe established by the law "On the Election of the President of Ukraine," calculating it from December 5, 2004 (i.e., December 26).
The Supreme Court denied the remaining stated claims.
The decision of the Supreme Court is final and not subject to appeal.
