Article II of the draft provides that the vacant mandates are allocated to alternate candidates by the Constitutional Court based on a proposal by the CEC. The proposed procedure is very long, leaving up to 10 days to the CEC and 30 days to the Constitutional Court for decision-making. Appeals procedures on the allocation of seats have to be dealt with in a timely manner, due to the importance of the right composition of Parliament in a democratic system. A similar approach should apply to the filling of vacant mandates. It is recommended to reconsider the provision and to provide for a deadline of 3 to 5 days.
