Paragraph 44
 

With respect to the right to vote, the new Constitution enfranchises prisoners convicted for lesser offences. According to Article 48.4 of the Constitution, persons serving a criminal sentence for intentionally committing grave and particularly grave offences do not have the right to vote. This provision is implemented in the draft code and addresses earlier recommendations made by the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission.
