II. Comments on the text of the draft law


C. Election Commissions


The formation of the CEC is regulated by a separate law on the CEC. The draft law maintains the political system of nominations to lower level election commissions. In a positive step the list of parties who can nominate members has been expanded to include all political parties that nominated candidates for the election and not just those represented in the current parliament. However, the law does not foresee any procedure for representation of independent candidates on the level of DECs. If there are insufficient nominations for PECs abroad the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the right to nominate members.
