The comments stated above concerning formation of the CEC (Article 22) and ZECs (Article 34) are also applicable to Article 40 regulating the formation of Local Government Election Commissions. A qualified majority voting requirement on significant issues also applies to the LGECs (Article 44). The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that Articles 40 and 44 be amended to loosen two party domination of the LGECs and avoid deadlock on decisions.[26]
