The draft electoral code contained a provision (Article 51.2(21)) allowing the CEC to revoke the qualification certificate of an observer for violating the requirements of the Electoral Code. This provision was criticised in the first Joint Opinion, as it could open the door to revoking observer accreditation for minor violations of the Code. This provision has been deleted in the final version of the Code (by the amendments adopted on 30 June). The recommendation has therefore been addressed.
