Article 8 of the draft Law allows for extending the voting period. Such an amendment is prudent given the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the draft Law gives the election authorities a very wide discretion in deciding the voting period, without imposing any conditions as to which situations may allow for extending the voting period and for how long. The regulation of the possibility to extend the voting period should be more specific or be linked to specific objective requirements in order to prevent the extension of the voting period for political gain. The integrity of election materials, including the security of ballot papers and boxes during the voting process should be ensured.
