Paragraph 19
 

IV. Election administration


A. Composition and appointment of election commissions









According to Article 14, two CEC members and a chairperson are proposed by the largest party in the parliament, two by the largest opposition party, and the remaining two members are proposed by “groupings of deputies of parliamentary majority parties other than the largest party of the majority grouping” and by “groupings of deputies of the parliamentary opposition parties, with the exception of the largest party of the opposition”. A similar system of appointment of election commissioners by both governing and opposition groupings is also applied at the level of the 66 Commissions of Election Administration Zones (CEAZs), Voting Centre Commissions (VCCs) and Ballot Counting Centres (BCCs), with the exception that the chairpersons are nominated by the governing majority in one half and the largest opposition party in the other half.
