Article 77, par. 1 provides for appeals against decisions of an election commission, but does not provide for appeals against actions or inactions of commissions. The code also does not provide private citizens with the right to file complaints to the election administration and courts on breaches of the Election Code or against decisions of the election administration (except regarding applications to make changes to the voters’ list.) Even on election day, voters do not have a right to file complaints regarding violations of the polling procedures or to challenge the election results. It is recommended that the Election Code be amended to allow appeals against all decisions, actions and inactions of election commissions.
