Paragraph 92
 

III. DISCUSSION OF THE DRAFT NATIONAL ELECTIONS LAW AND THE DRAFT ELECTION COMMISSIONS LAW


P. Early voting


Article 32(4) could endanger the secrecy of the vote for early voters as the voter is required to sign the envelope that contains the marked ballot. Thus, it is possible to link the voter’s identify with the voter’s marked ballot. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR recommend that consideration be given to introducing a system ensuring the secrecy of the vote.
