Paragraph 57
 

Referendums envisioned by the Constitution and the draft law may not necessarily entail a divide along party lines and may well involve political and civic actors not represented in the Parliament, especially in case of popular initiatives. In light of these considerations, and to ensure confidence in the election administration, it is recommended to provide for the formation of precinct electoral commissions through representation of the referendum proposal’s supporters and opponents, for example, through nomination by the “parties” defined in Article 17.5 – 17.8 of the draft law.
