Paragraph 76
 

According to the current Electoral Code (Article 187), polling stations are set up for a maximum of 3,000 voters. This number is already high to allow for a smooth voting process and to avoid queues. The draft increases the number of voters per polling station to 5,000, leading to even larger risks of challenges for the election management, as well as to the prolongation of counting procedures. It is recommended to lower the number of maximum voters per polling station, not to increase it.
