1. For the purpose of organizing and conducting elections, a three-level system of electoral commissions is formed in the Republic: Central Electoral Commission, Territorial Electoral Commission, and Precinct Electoral Commission.

2. A Territorial Electoral Commission is formed for each constituency.

3. If the territory of a community is included in the structure of more than one constituency, then, 65 days prior to the elections, the Central Electoral Commission determines which Territorial Electoral Commission would have the authority to organize and conduct the elections to local self-governing bodies in the particular community. The constituency of the commission shall include the maximum number of voters from that particular community.

During the elections to local self-governing bodies, that particular Territorial Electoral Commission shall coordinate the activities of all Precinct Electoral Commissions operating in the territory of the community.
