Article 133 of the draft law states that “election procedure shall be special and urgent legal procedure”, without further specification of the scope or effects on the performance of administrative bodies, besides the expedited deadlines prescribed by the draft law. The deadlines for revision of complaints by MECs and the CEC are extended from 24 to 48 hours. Although this is a positive development, the deadlines may benefit from further reconsideration and diversification in order to ensure an effective legal remedy, reflecting the nature of different categories of complaints and general electoral timeline. For example, election day’s complaints on violations or irregularities affecting the realization of the right to vote would require immediate review, while allegations requiring verification of facts would benefit from extended deadlines in line with international standards and ODIHR recommendations. It is recommended that both the time limits for lodging complaints – and later on for lodging appeals, if required – and the time limits for adjudicating complaints and appeals be clarified in the law.
