Paragraph 21
 

According to the figures included in the annex of the law, the deviation from the norm does not exceed 10% in 61 of 73 constituencies and does not exceed 15% in the other 12 constituencies. The Election Code requires the size of the constituencies to be in accordance with international standards and be equal in the number of voters. However, it does not provide clear rules for the delimitation of constituencies and does not specify any criteria for legally permissible deviations among electoral constituencies, and justification for any exceptional cases.
