R. Transparency/observation

Article 11(2) of the draft law provides that the validity of the accreditation of an international observer expires on the day of official publication of election results. However, at times there are electoral activities, such as the adjudication of court cases related to electoral complaints, that may take place after the official publication of results. International observers often observe these activities and report on them in their election observation reports. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommend that Article 11(2) of the draft law be amended to provide that accreditation expires after the international observers have concluded all their observation activities.
