In previous draft laws to introduce constituencies in the electoral system in 2014 and 2017, the responsibility for establishing such constituencies and drawing electoral boundaries was left to the CEC. In the joint opinions of 2014 and 2017, the Venice Commission and ODIHR had reservations about tasking the CEC with establishing constituencies as there were risks of politicising the CEC with managing such a process as well as overburdening the CEC with additional tasks. The June 2017 joint opinion recommended setting up an independent body to establish and to review constituency boundaries. A body declared in law to be independent has been created, although stakeholders’ concerns remain as to the specific composition and work of this body.
