Draft Resolution of the Riigikogu "Making a Proposal to the Government of the Republic to Urgently Develop the Suspension of E-voting" (679 OE), First Reading
2025-11-06
XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
Political Position
The most crucial stance is the immediate and definitive termination of e-voting, which is justified by the violation of constitutional requirements (uniformity, timing, and observability). This position is very strong, clear, and value-driven, underscoring EKRE's long-standing and unequivocal stance. The political focus is aimed at testing the political integrity of other parties (specifically the Centre Party).
