Paragraph 61
 

According to Article 48 (5), the person who collects signatures of electors signs every paper of subscription lists in the presence of the head of the local public administration authority of the territory where the signatures are collected. This procedure does not guarantee the independence and impartiality of the registration of candidates. The person who has collected the signatures may sign the papers in front of electoral bodies or notaries, where the political pressure on the signatory person is minimised.
