More detailed provisions on the setting of the date of elections are included in the Electoral Code. According to Article 10(1), the election date for local government bodies is set by a decree of the President of the Republic, complying with Article 9(1-2) of the Code. The latter provisions address the setting of date for the elections for the Assembly, but the reference in Article 10(1) extends their application to the elections for local government. Furthermore, the electoral period for the elections for both the Assembly and local government units is laid down in Article 8 of the Code. The electoral periods last from 15 March until 30 June and from 15 September until 30 November.
