Paragraph 96
 

According to Article 9.5, various Government agencies (Ministry of Justice, local self-government units, Ministry of Refugees etc.) are responsible for furnishing the CEC with updated data. This is done twice per year (1 February and 1 August) and the CEC is obliged to amend the electronic database of registered voters (Article 9.6). In addition, for a three-week period prior to the elections, PECs are tasked with making additions and corrections to voters’ lists. However, it appears unclear what the format of the data provided to the CEC should be. Thus, the CEC may face insurmountable technical problems in the close run-up to the election day.
