The large size of the precinct commissions (between 10 – 24 members, depending on the physical size of the polling station), as established in Art. 48 of the Draft law, has in the past been critically assessed by ODIHR in its election observation reports as being too high, hindering election day operations. It is therefore recommended that the number of members appointed at each commission level should correspond to the actual needs of the election administration, with a reasonable maximum number of members established in the law. In this respect, it is not every referendum participant that needs to have a representative on every referendum commission, provided a balanced representation of supporters and opponents is achieved. Those without representation, otherwise have the right under the Draft law to appoint persons to observe the process (and with consultative status at district commission level).
