Paragraph 74
 

Article 36 enables electoral commissions to issue special rules in specific situations, including epidemies. This delegation is too broad and should not lead to excessive restrictions of fundamental political rights. Moreover, the mention of “other reasons” could lead to an excessively broad interpretation of this provision. The Venice Commission recommends providing for more detailed rules in the law.
