Article 57 (1) par. 48 stipulates that the CEC has to adopt rules for the application of the Electoral Code. This is a positive amendment, which explicitly underlines the sub-legislative role of the CEC while implementing and, if needed, interpreting the Electoral Code as well as concerning regional and section election commissions, which operate through decisions and instructions of the CEC. This explicit competence of the CEC may also contribute to filling certain gaps in the Electoral Code.
