Paragraph 73
 

The Code has made the rules on gender quotas stricter. The Code now provides for minimum quotas of 30 per cent instead of 25 per cent (Article 83.4 and 10), within the defined brackets in the national list and for the lists as a whole in district lists. Quotas for the first part of the national list apply to each integer group of 3 (instead of 4 in the draft code), which is a considerable improvement. These new quotas will, however, not apply to the next elections, but will be applicable only from 2021 (Article 144.14-16 of the final version of the Code).
