Paragraph 38
 

In addition to the March amendments to the Law on the Basic Provisions on Elections and Voter Registers concerning the BBCs, the new constitutional context that preceded the March and April amendments to the electoral legislation also affects the Supreme Board of Elections (SBE). The SBE is a powerful state organ which, in addition to organising elections, also makes final decisions in electoral disputes and on the electoral result without possibility of judicial review (Constitution Article 79.2).
