22. Articles 55 and 69 of the law identify various circumstances in which a PB can be dissolved on polling day. These include such instances as where a member of a polling board fails to re-explain the voting procedure when requested or where there has been campaigning within 50 meters of the polling station. Such failures do not justify the response of disbanding the PB. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommend that the law be amended to limit the power to disband a PB to a situation where a violation is serious and may have had an impact on the overall integrity of the election, and only following a formal complaint about the violation.
