This law provides that persons who have been punished for an intentional criminal offense cannot run for the Saeima elections, except those who have been rehabilitated or for whom the criminal record has been deleted or removed, said the CVK.
Baltacis' name will be found on the list because the election ballots are already in print, but the votes cast will not be counted, CVK Secretary Valdis Verners told Latvian Television.
The decision of the CVK may be appealed to the Administrative District Court within three working days from the date of its adoption.
