Article 73 provides for a number of positive additions concerning the ballot paper standardised template and clarifies procedures for submission and replacement of electoral symbols. The position of electoral competitors on the ballot is determined by lot, carried out daily, affecting only the electoral contestants whose registration has been accepted that day. ODIHR has previously observed that drawing lots on a continuous basis rather than after the deadline for registration may give an unfair advantage to larger and better-resourced parties and candidates who register first and thus appear higher on the ballot. To avoid any perceived electoral advantage resulting from the order of submission of candidacies, ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that the drawing of lots be conducted after the registration process is concluded.
