Paragraph 32
 

The possibility to revoke a member of the CEC is very open and the decision is made by bodies appointing the members of CEC. As mentioned, a wide possibility for revocation is incompatible with the principle of impartiality of electoral bodies. It would be preferable to provide a limited and precise list in Article 22, possibly including a list of penal and administrative offences. The criterion “if they take actions that unfit their functions” is too wide and gives rise to concern about possible abuses.
