It would remain unclear, under the Draft Law, to what extent citizens or electoral participants (including political parties nominating candidates for election) would have access to voter lists, in what form, and for what purposes. The Draft Law affirms the principle that every citizen shall be entitled to check his registration for correctness at any time of the year (Article 13). The Draft Law also makes clear provision for the duty of the authorities maintaining the lists to announce the lists as open for inspection in advance of forthcoming elections (Article 12). Otherwise, however, the provisions of the Draft Law relating to access to information on the voter lists appear somewhat incomplete, as noted in the Commentaries. The matter is not expressly dealt with except in Article 32, in relation to numerical data on voter participation in elections.
