Paragraph 55
 

Article 45 provides for the procedure for removal of the deputy chairperson and secretary of the CEC and chairperson, deputy chairperson and secretary of the DEC. In both cases, the decision must be adopted by at least two thirds of the total number of votes of the members of the Commission. Nevertheless, there are no provisions that outline the grounds that could justify such a decision. Dismissal should be based only on a reasoned decision, and be limited to very serious grounds.
