The adopted amendment to Article 86 of the Electoral Code addresses the problem for political parties and blocs, setting for them only two thresholds in place of the previous three: a reduction of the threshold for single parties (from 6 to 4%) and for coalitions, from 9 and 12% to a single 8%. The recommendation was for a single threshold for parties and coalitions at 3-4%, but the amendment is certainly an improvement over the recent past.
