Clause (1) of Article 146 states that an appeal can be lodged “within two days from the date the decision was taken”, while Article 148 clause (1) speaks of “within 48 hours of the date the decision was announced”. There could also be a difference between the date the decision was taken and the date a decision is announced. The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that Article 146 and/or Article 148 be amended, as appropriate, to ensure consistency.
