Paragraph 19
 

The adoption of the assessed amendments less than a year before the expected elections, along with the short timeframe envisaged for the CEC to carry out delimitation in the remaining constituencies is a matter of concern. These late changes might disadvantage some political parties and candidates and thus may be perceived as politically biased. Moreover, the late finalisation of boundaries may pose a challenge to ensure that voters are sufficiently informed as to the changes to their electoral constituencies.
