II. Comments on the text of the draft law


C. Election Commissions


Article 37(10) allows for the dismissal of the chairperson, deputy chairperson and secretary of a DEC or PEC if they fail to perform their duties and two thirds of the respective commission members file a request for dismissal with the commission that established the DEC or PEC. It is recommended to set clear criteria based on which the management of election commissions can be dismissed in order to avoid the abuse of this provision.
