According to the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters, the right to stand for election should preferably be acquired at the same age as the right to vote (CDL-AD(2002)023rev2-cor, part I.1.1a.iii). However, in a number of CoE member states, the right to vote is granted to citizens who have reached 18 years of age while only voters aged 21 years or older are eligible to stand for parliamentary elections. Examples include Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, the Russian Federation, San Marino, Slovakia and Ukraine. The minimum age for the right to stand for elections is even set at 23 years in Romania and at 25 years in Armenia, Italy, Lithuania, and Monaco. The gap is widest in Greece, being 17 years for the right to vote (in coming elections) and 25 years for the right to stand for elections to Parliament.
