The draft Code (Article 40) retains the rules for establishing polling stations for voters residing in localities in Transnistria, as in the current Code, to vote in polling stations organised on the territory of Moldova under the constitutional jurisdiction of the central public authorities, for voting in parliamentary and presidential elections and the national referendums. Notably, as an exception, the text of the draft Code defines that polling stations may be organised by the CEC rather than providing an explicit obligation to the CEC to do so (as in the current Code). Considering the sensitive circumstances for voting of citizens residing in Transnistria, as well as the international standards protecting the universality of the vote for all citizens, the Code (or the CEC regulation) could specify under which circumstances the polling stations for voters residing in Transnistria would not be formed.
