The three provisions all aim at ensuring that the number of voters unable to exercise their right to vote due to inaccuracies of, or doubts about, voter registers, remains limited. During the visit to Ankara, the Venice Commission and ODIHR were informed that in the previous elections, the number of such voters had amounted to more than 500.000 persons. The measures aimed at redressing this situation are to be welcomed. Such measures must however strike a reasonable balance between the interest in the stability of voters’ registers on the one hand and the need to accept that voters may for various reasons want to vote in an area other than their usual place of residence on the other hand.
