Paragraph 46
 

Article 12 of the Electoral Code establishes a CEC consisting of seven members.  Members serve a term of four years and can be re-elected.  Article 14 regulates the election of CEC members and Article 15 regulates the election of the Chairperson of the CEC.  Taken together, these articles attempt to establish a CEC where four members, including the Chairperson position, are nominated by the parliamentary majority in the Assembly and three members are nominated by the parliamentary opposition in the Assembly.  All members are elected by the Assembly, and the nomination process includes several steps that allow the chairpersons of parliamentary groups and parliamentary groups to be involved.[20]
