Abstract

The head of the municipality who voluntarily terminated his powers. The article critically analyzes the norms-the grounds for a veiled temporary restriction of passive suffrage during municipal elections to a representative body of local self-government and to the post of head of a municipality, which were the reason for the early dissolution of the representative body and the head of the municipality elected by the population. The basis of the study is the contradiction between an innocent act (inaction) and the restriction of the right to run for the same position immediately after the early termination of powers. An important aspect of this problem is the fact that there are no similar restrictions on persons who have actually violated the law and harmed the municipality.
