Paragraph 16
 

The 2016 amendments to the Electoral Code raise concern over their timing and their effect on the electoral process. The Electoral Code was amended on three occasions in 2016 (26 May, 22 July, and 28 October), less than one year before the presidential election, which took place on 6 and 13 November 2016. All three series of amendments were effective within six months before the election. The last amendments entered into force on 28 October, only ten days before the presidential election.
