It is critical that the next set of amendments address these fundamental building blocks, such as mapping and establishment of polling station areas including administrative addresses (street names or numbers and house numbers), when addressing the voter registration and updating process, and provide details for all voter registration and updating processes. Further, they must be addressed early in the process, in a fully transparent manner, so that voters and election officials involved in updating do indeed know whether a voter is, as stated in Article 58, “registered in the wrong voting centre”.[29] The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that the Code be amended to require the establishment and publication of polling unit boundaries and voting centre locations as a critical first step in verifying the accuracy of voter registers.[30]
