Paragraph 29
 

Accurate and regularly-updated voters’ lists are of crucial importance for democratic elections. The missing or incorrect entries of some voters, as well as possible multiple registrations of others, would violate the principles of universal and equal suffrage. The CEC is responsible for the maintenance of the centralised and computerised voters’ register (Article 9.4.) The Election Code provides that the general voters’ list is complied based on information regularly provided by a number of local and state bodies and institutions (Article 9.5 and 9.6.) Political entities, observers’ organisations and voters are provided with an opportunity to publicly scrutinise the preliminary voters’ list and request changes (Article 9.7) and the final general list of voters is made public (Article 9.13).
