In the exam (Estonian)

Millisel juhul lõpevad Riigikogu liikme volitused enne tähtaega?

  1. awhen a court judgment convicting them enters into forcekui jõustub teda süüdi mõistev kohtuotsusCorrect answer
  2. bwhen they leave their political partykui ta lahkub oma erakonnast
  3. cwhen they vote against a proposal of the Governmentkui ta hääletab valitsuse ettepaneku vastu
  4. dwhen they are absent from a sittingkui ta puudub mõnelt istungilt

Why?

§ 64 of the Constitution lists the cases in which the powers end early. One of them is when a court judgment convicting the member enters into force. Leaving a party or voting against something does not end the powers. (PS § 64)
