Paragraph 75
 

Finally, it would appear that a recommendation relating to oversight, which was made in the 2017 Joint Opinion, has been taken into account in the 2017 electoral reform: the 2017 draft amendments of the EC proposed the transfer of responsibility for control over campaign finance, as well as of a number of aspects of the electoral process, from the CEC to the District Electoral Councils. This was criticised in the 2017 Joint Opinion, according to which such a move “would pose further challenges to effective control and supervision. This includes lack of appropriate resources.” In the end, such a transfer of responsibility with respect to campaign finance has not been effectuated; the corresponding draft provisions were removed from the amendment law.
