As a positive development, complaints and appeals may be submitted electronically as well (Article 52 para 1). The standing in complaints and appeals procedures is wide. The amendments add the possibility for non-governmental organisations to submit complaints and appeals if they find a violation of the principles of the suffrage right listed in Article 7 of the Constitution. However, the previous recommendation to grant broader standing to bring challenges has not been met, as draft Article 51.12 does not include voters in the categories of persons with legal standing on challenges against the voting results in electoral precincts; therefore not fully providing for an effective remedy, contrary to OSCE Commitments and international standards. Similarly, the time limit to submit an application for recount, “on the day following the voting, from 12:00 to 18:00 or on the second day following the voting, from 9:00 to 11:00”, as per Article 53.1 of the draft Electoral Code, remains excessively short, contrary to a previous Venice Commission and ODIHR recommendation.
