At the same time, during the delegation’s visit to Moldova, parliamentary opposition representatives raised concerns that availing only selected polling stations of this opportunity would allow the CEC to exercise discretion in favour of particular political interests, especially concerning polling stations abroad. This may endanger the equality of opportunity to cast a ballot for different groups of voters. Nevertheless, it should be stated that as long as all voters are provided with ample opportunity to vote, a situation in which only in some locations voting takes place also on Saturday is not in itself a detriment to voters who can vote only on the election-day Sunday. Furthermore, the requirement that the CEC decision on two days of voting is made sufficiently in advance of elections allows adequate time to inform voters of this measure. At the same time, to provide more clarity for voters and candidates, and to allow for an effective judicial control, the draft Code should further specify what the ‘objective reasons’ may relate to. It would be beneficial if the Code enumerated the possible reasons, in line with international standards and OSCE commitments to have a clear legal basis for all voting arrangements. For example, it remains open to further deliberation would this measure apply only in extraordinary situations, such as a health pandemic, or may it also be relied upon by the CEC in case of a logistical necessity in some specific cases – such as a high number of registered voters in polling stations abroad.
