Paragraph 28
 

 In the February 2008 presidential elections, four out of nine candidates received less than 10,000 votes or less than 1 per cent of the total number of votes. If a number of candidates with little support are running in future elections, reintroducing a signature requirement may be considered. Likewise, the rules for parties to nominate candidates could also be revised, for example by requiring parties which have not won seats in the parliament during the last two elections to collect signatures in order to run in national elections.
