Paragraph 26
 

 In 2007 local elections the OSCE/ODIHR reported[5] that “Due to permissible variations in the number of commission members, some political parties could not nominate DEC and precinct electoral bureaux (PEB) members unless the body in question had the maximum number of members”. Since the number of members is limited by the Code, proportionality of representation and even representation at all of all parties present in the Parliament may pose a practical problem. Since the model chosen is to ensure inclusiveness of commissions by allowing parliamentary parties to nominate members, adequate provisions should be included in the law to guarantee that all parliamentary parties will have at least minimal representation on commissions. The OSCE/ODIHR also made a recommendation to consider as part of the formula for forming commissions enabling the participation of parties that in some regions of the country have a stronger presence that national parties represented in the parliament.[6]
