Despite repeated criticism by previous ODIHR and PACE election observation missions (EOMs), the draft law does not address the gaps in tabulation procedures at the levels of municipal election commissions and the CEC. There is an absence of rules on possible correction of results’ protocols, opening of the election material for verification and recounts and transparency measures. Furthermore, the draft law does not require the MECs or the CEC to hold a session and to vote on final election results, which was previously used as a formal ground to prevent challenging the final results. These gaps continue to create legal uncertainty, leave room for inconsistent interpretation, and necessitate additional regulation.
