The amendments specify that the party alliances appoint members to the CEC by the majority vote of the permanent bodies of the parties that are a part of a party alliance (Article 35 (1) 1)). If such decision is not taken within the prescribed time period, the appointment power is transferred to the “respective faction.” No specific provision is included for the case when party alliance breaks apart. Based on the Electoral Code, it is not clear whether a “respective faction” can always be easily determined for a party alliance (especially after a break-up of the alliance).
