According to Article 67(3) of the revised Electoral Code, the leader of the political party may be nominated as a candidate in up to four electoral zones (constituencies) for parliamentary elections. This is an exception to the general rule that every person may stand as a candidate in only one list and one electoral zone. In conformity with the principle of equal suffrage guaranteed by international treaties and standards, all persons should have the right to stand in the elections on the same terms. It is very doubtful that the preferential treatment of political party leaders follows a legitimate aim. Furthermore, being candidates in several districts may have a positive impact on the publicity of the candidates, what again may lead to a privileged situation. A similar provision, which had been criticised in the 2009 ODIHR Final Report on the 2009 parliamentary elections, had been repealed in conformity with the ODIHR’s recommendations. Political leaders should commit themselves to refraining from applying in several constituencies, and this provision should be revised after the 2021 parliamentary elections.
