This recommendation has been implemented by deleting those specific restrictions from draft Article 13(1) of the Election Code. The only remaining condition for a political party to be eligible to appoint one CEC member is that the party was registered by the CEC chairperson to run for parliamentary elections and was assigned a parliamentary mandate. Moreover, if the number of eligible parties is more than nine, “the party having the best results in the election shall have priority during appointment of the CEC member”. These revised rules are significant improvements, in line with the recommendation and with international standards which provide that the central election commission should include representatives of parties already in parliament or having scored at least a given percentage of the vote; such membership should be premised on equality, which can be construed strictly or on a proportional basis, the latter taking account of the parties’ relative electoral strengths.
