Paragraph 26
 

Third, the 2017 constitutional reform, which is a prerequisite for the timing of the amendments as it provisionally lifted the constitutional ban on changes to electoral law within one year before the election, may also have significant effects for the independence of the Supreme Board of Elections and lower-level election boards (see IV.C below).
