ILEA002573041: New coalition of Tallinn City Government

Violation of voting rules

17.04.2024, Tallinn. The Center Party suspects that during Sunday's Tallinn City Council session, which saw the appointment of a new mayor and city government, the four parties of the ruling coalition used marking ballots during the voting to ascertain how each member voted. This would constitute a violation of the secrecy of the vote. Technically, the ballots were not tampered with, but concerns were raised about whether such behavior ensured the secrecy of the vote.
