In light of the above, the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission make the following key recommendations for the improvement of the Election Code:

A. to ensure that fundamental provisions, including delimitation of boundaries, are finalised no less than one year before an election;

B. to define in the law the method for distributing single-mandate constituencies (if maintained after the forthcoming parliamentary elections) as well as to note a clear timeline for any future review of all boundaries;

C. to define in the law the maximum permitted deviation among electoral constituencies, and justification for any exceptional cases;

D. to ensure inclusive consultation to increase public confidence in the boundary delimitation process, in line with international obligations and standards and good practice, which could include establishing an independent ad hoc or permanent commission in charge of drawing electoral constituency boundaries.
