Paragraph 58
 

Section 56 amending Section 311(2a) of the Act on Electoral Procedure introduces a ban on specified public officials and candidates being appointed as observers in national minority self-government elections, which does not apply to observers for the other types of elections. The reasoning for such discrepancy and stricter application to national minority elections is unclear and may warrant reconsideration.
