Paragraph 39
 

The draft law abandons the concept of "extended composition" in the election administration, while preserving the possibility for the submitters of registered candidate lists to appoint authorized representatives and their substitutes to election commissions at all levels and to polling boards. In addressing uncertainties related to the role of such authorized representatives and their involvement in the decision-making processes during previous elections, the draft law explicitly states that these representatives participate in the work of commissions and polling boards without the right to decide. In addition, the previous requirement for authorized representatives to be lawyers has been dropped.
