II. Comments on the text of the draft law

C. Election Commissions

Each party nominating members to the DECs and PECs has the right to a proportional share of the managerial positions (Articles 27 (9 and 10) and 28 (10 and 11). The share of managerial positions for each party depends on the proportion of commission members selected out of party nominees. The exact procedure for the distribution of the managerial positions among the parties is to be determined by the CEC. In a positive development, the draft law requires that the procedure result in an approximate evenness of territorial distribution of the positions received by each party.
