Paragraph 15
 

The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR also raise concerns regarding the complaints and appeals procedure of Article 791, in particular about the categories of applicants and the time limits for appeals. On the latter, the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission question the shortness of the time limits and the possibility that the votes obtained by a party or an election block that would be deregistered risk not being counted, which as a consequence would waste and nullify the votes of voters having exercised their suffrage rights in good faith.
