Paragraph 31
 

IV. Election administration


A. Composition and appointment of election commissions









The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR recommend that Articles 29 and 36 be amended to provide for alternative ways to complete the formation of the CEAZs and voting centres when a parliamentary grouping does not submit candidacies within the deadline, and that the second part of Article 29.4 be clarified. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR further recommend providing effective sanctions against parties that do not propose members of election commissions, such as making receipt of public funds for campaign finance contingent on compliance. The principle of proportionality of sanctions has to be respected in any case.
