Paragraph 31
 

IV. Right to vote and be elected









The 2011 joint opinion expressed concern about a 12-month residency requirement established for the registration of voters under medical treatment and voters in detention centres. As Articles 9(7) and 29(2) of the draft Code reduce this requirement to six months and the requirement is applicable to local elections, the concern expressed by the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR is addressed.
