Paragraph 71
 

Furthermore, the CEC currently lacks sufficient resources to exercise full supervision; only two employees of the financial department are assigned to handle the financial information reported by political parties and electoral contestants. It would also appear that around twenty vacancies within the CEC are not filled due to unattractive working conditions. Moreover, additional specialised staff is needed to carry out in-depth control of financial reports. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR delegation was informed by the Minister of Justice that the CEC had the possibility to make a reasoned request for additional staff but had not done so to date. It would therefore appear appropriate to further define budget and staff allocations to the CEC and to provide for better working conditions to ensure that the CEC has both the human and the financial resources to fulfil its mandate.
