III. Comments on the Text on the Draft Electoral Law 

C. Election commissions

Each party nominating members to the DECs and PECs is entitled to a share of the managerial positions (Articles 27 and 28), which is proportional to the number of commission members selected from the party nominees. The procedure for the lottery for the distribution of the managerial positions among the parties is to be determined by the CEC. The parliamentary electoral law also requires that the procedure results in approximate evenness of territorial distribution of the managerial positions filled by each party. The revised Article 27.3 now requires lotteries to be conducted for each electoral district as opposed to a single nationwide lottery for all districts. This amendment changes the prior CEC practice of a single lottery performed simultaneously for all DECs and is a positive amendment.
