4. The constituencies of Transnistra

According to Article 74.2 of the submitted proposal, three majoritarian constituencies should be created in the localities on the left bank of Nistru and Dubasari district. As previously stated, population data should be taken into account in establishing the number of constituencies created. The feasibility of organising elections in Transnistria raises a number of concerns. This territory is currently outside of the control of the central authorities, thereby making election-activities such as the electoral campaign, and voting and counting by precinct commissions difficult to implement. In previous parliamentary elections, voting could not take place on the territory under the control of the Transnistrian de facto authorities, and polling stations were established in government-controlled territory at which persons residing in Transnistria could vote.
