In the 2005 Final Report, the OSCE/ODIHR also recommended that “Consideration should be given to ensure that the law clearly defines the powers and responsibilities of the various bodies responsible for the review of complaints and appeals, to avoid conflicts of jurisdiction, and should not grant the appellants or the authorities the right to choose the appeal body.” The current complaints and appeals system would benefit from a clearer definition of the responsibilities and appears not to be in line with the recommendations of the Venice Commission Code of good practice in electoral matters[33].
