Provisions on registering initiative groups and collecting support signatures could be improved to enhance clarity. It is proposed that forms for signature collection be issued by the CEC, a valid measure adding to the uniformity of procedures (Article 65(5)). The deadline to collect signatures is set to run from the day of registration, but the actual start is contingent on the provision of the forms by the CEC. Protracted issuance of these forms may unduly limit the time for signature collection. It is recommended to mention that subscription list forms are to be issued at the same time as the registration of the initiative group or the independent candidate.
