B-H ELECTIONS MAY BE CANCELLED IN CASE ELECTION RULES ARE VIOLATED

VIOLATED $ , OSCE SPOKESWOMAN SAYS SARAJEVO, 23 Aug (Hina) - A temporary election commission, in charge of supervision and organisation of Bosnian general elections, met in Sarajevo on Friday to discuss the results of the registration process. Spokeswoman for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe, Agota Cupermann, said that special attention would be paid to the results of the registration based on P-2 form which allows voters to vote in a municipality in which they did not live in 1991. #L# Cupermann said that there was a possibility that the elections on the level of municipalities could be cancelled in case it was established that the course of the registration process had violated the election rules. The final decision on this matter will be reached by Robert Frowick, head of the OSCE mission in Bosnia, who will consult OSCE president, Swiss foreign minister Flavio Cotti. Frowick is not in Sarajevo and is expected to return tomorrow. The final registration data, publicized in Sarajevo on Friday, show that a great number of persons, who decided to vote in the Serb entity, had registered in municipalities they had never lived in. The most drastic example of this is the strategically important town of Brcko, where even 42,763 new voters have registered for the elections. Out of that number, 31,000 live outside of Bosnia and some 11,000 live in Bosnia. Banja Luka with 29,572 new voters is followed by Srebrenica (24,000) and Bijeljina and Doboj with more than 23,000 new voters. (hina) rm 231417 MET aug 96
