Paragraph 17
 

As pointed out in paragraph 12 of the Report, a wide discretion allows the competent body to decide to have the elections earlier than the general wording of the law would provide. As such, it is neither against the democratic standards nor the voters’ fundamental rights if the elections take place just a short time after the respective three, four- or five-year term of office has ended.
