Paragraph 41
 

Concerning the elections of municipal councillors and of mayors, a May 2016 revision introduced a new article, Article 405a, which requires municipal mayors and regional governors to check all address registrations in their districts during the last twelve months six months before such elections. This is a welcome step forward, but no such pre-election control of voter lists seems to apply for parliamentary, presidential or European Parliament elections. It is therefore recommended that this revision apply to all elections.
