Article 64 sets out new rules and deadlines for registering electoral alliances (blocs). This is a welcome step from the position of legal certainty, as it formalises the regulations previously adopted by the CEC as bylaws. However, it should be borne in mind that excessive formalisation may pose a barrier to the formation of pre-election alliances, and such barriers should be avoided. For example, requiring the agreement on an electoral alliance to include provisions already regulated by the law, such as the procedure for nominating candidate lists and setting up the initiative group, appears excessive. It should also be clarified that the denial of registration to an electoral alliance by the CEC (Article 64(6) of the draft Code) should not prevent its constituent political parties from nominating candidates in their name (Article 64(7) of the draft Code).
