Paragraph 35
 

 Article 45 provides that for parliamentary elections the Voting Centre Commission is composed in accordance with the manner and the criteria provided by Article 34 for the ZEC. For local government elections, the VCC is composed in accordance with the manner and criteria provided by Article 40 for the LGEC. Thus, concerns stated above concerning formation of the ZEC and LGEC are also applicable to formation of the VCC.  The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that Article 45 be amended to loosen two party domination of the VCCs.
