Paragraph 43
 

In line with a previous Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR recommendation,20 Article 63(3) has been amended to allow a voter to give a supporting signature for more than one candidate. However, contrary to a prior OSCE/ODIHR recommendation, signatures must still be collected in front of a regional SEC representative. As this opens the possibility for voter intimidation, it is recommended that alternative methods for signature collection should be considered in order to reduce the potential for intimidation.
