Paragraph 44
 

 Article 27(7). Decisions of the district electoral councils. This article prescribes that decisions are taken by a majority of its members, not by majority of those voting. This seems to be too strict and is not in line with decisions e.g. in the Central Election Commission. Is that a mistake? It appears to differ from the approach taken in Article 32(2), where decisions of the councils and electoral commission members, if they do require the presence of half the members, only require consent from a majority of the members at the meeting in order to adopt a decision. In summary, it is recommended to clarify the distinction between both Article 27(7) and Article 32(2).
