In many states, the Constitution or the electoral law determines the date of the ordinary elections at the end of the legislature, either by stipulating the exact day on which the elections will have to be held, or by prescribing precisely the way this date can be determined. These states clearly pursue the legitimate aim to eliminate every political partiality in choosing the date of the elections. The authorities that have to organise the elections do not dispose of any discretionary power in this field. Such a system exists in Albania, Belgium, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Luxemburg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine.
