Further, the Venice Commission stresses that provision for qualified majorities is designed to require the search for a broad agreement between the majority and the opposition. This legitimate aim would be frustrated if the ruling coalition, on the ground that it possesses the qualified majority, refrained from even searching for such broad political agreement. The authorities claim that cardinal laws ensure the stability of the electoral law. While this objective should be commended in principle, requiring a qualified majority to amend technical or operational provisions in electoral laws poses an unnecessary hurdle for making changes needed for effective election administration.
