The Venice Commission and ODIHR make the following key recommendations:

A. Making clear that the law does not introduce changes to the conditions for eligibility of political parties to participate in the elections that de facto are not possible to meet in the time between adoption of the amendments and the next election and therefore potentially make some parties ineligible;
B. Reconsidering the modifications in the system for composing district and provincial electoral boards that replace the system of automatic appointment based on seniority with a lottery system, because the new system lacks safeguards against pressure on judges meeting the new eligibility criteria;
C. Adding references to the President in Articles 65, 66 or 155 of Law No. 298, where previously there were references to the Prime Minister.
D. Reconsidering whether, with the 7% election threshold, the balance between the principles of fair representation and of stability of government is struck in the right way, further to the introduction of a presidential form of government.
