The definition of an “independent candidate” is further elaborated with a provision that such candidates may be nominated and/or supported by a group of citizens. The definition of the “Centre for Continuous Electoral Training” additionally clarifies its status. The definition of “national constituency” is expanded to include, in addition to the proportional component of parliamentary elections, also presidential elections and national referenda. The definition of the “Code of conduct” is extended also to referendum participants. The definition of “electoral contenders” is amended for presidential elections to include also parties, organisations and alliances which nominated candidates, and for local elections to include independent candidates.
