Further, the Supreme Court concluded that, in accordance with provisions of the "Law on the Election of the President" and the Constitution of Ukraine, the CEC should not be permitted to officially certify the vote because complaints before lower courts were not yet resolved.
Therefore, the November 21st run-off election was for all practical purposes "invalid." The Supreme Court then determined that the appropriate remedy to redress the violations was to order the CEC to conduct a "repeat second round" of voting in every precinct in Ukraine.
For example, in 1998, the election of the mayor of the City of Odesa was challenged in the City of Kirovohrad, which is in a different oblast.
