During the visit to Bishkek on 11-12 February 2020, the delegation of ODIHR and the Venice Commission experts was informed that the draft law was developed by a working group for improving electoral legislation under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, with active participation of the Central Commission for Elections and Referenda. The draft law received input from another working group – on the judicial reforms, as well as from academics, state officials and civil society organisations. This inclusiveness of the drafting process is welcome.
