III. Comments on the Text on the Draft Electoral Law
C. Election commissions
The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR have previously recommended reducing the maximum and minimum numbers of PEC members to promote consensus and orderly meetings. This would improve the work of the PECs and also address the issue of overcrowding in PECs on election day, especially considering the large number of voters in some PECs and the size limitations of polling stations.[1] This recommendation remains unaddressed.
