It is true that the Croatian Parliament has a primary constitutional role to play in elections. The Parliament might, acting through the Committee on Constitution, Standing Rules and Political System, develop more specific election regulations through legislation. But a parliamentary body is not ideally suited to develop and implement regulations, even if – as in this case – its composition includes outside experts as well as parliamentarians.[25] Instead, it might be more consistent with the doctrines of Separation of Powers[26] and Delegation of Parliamentary Authority to devolve executive authority over the electoral process to the new SEC as an independent executive agency.
