Paragraph 90
 

In a new provision, Article 65.7 limits the number of citizen observers to one per local organisation per polling station. Article 65.8 provides that the PEC may limit the total number of citizen observers and media representatives at a polling station where their number (but no less than 15) may hinder the smooth voting process. The OSCE/ODIHR has previously recommended that overcrowding be addressed by identifying more appropriate polling location. It is recommended that any measures to address overcrowding in polling stations must be proportionate and safeguard transparency of the electoral process.
