The Venice Commission notes that the tasks of INE and those of the Electoral Tribunal are similar to those of election management bodies or courts dealing with election dispute resolution in some other countries. They are enlisted in the current Constitution in a detailed way. As expressed by the authorities, INE is also responsible for issuing identity documents, a task which in other countries is often carried out by other institutions. INE is also tasked with carrying out a thorough overview of the media neutrality and balance. There are countries among the Venice Commission member states which do not provide for such a task but only foresee media overview based on complaints or during the campaign period. However, conferring these tasks to INE does not deviate from good practices as identified by the Venice Commission. The Venice Commission wishes to stress that there is an inherent risk in reducing the tasks of INE because the current attributions have proved their efficiency in ensuring democratic elections in the past decade. The objective to reduce the cost of administration is understandable and legitimate; however, if the competences of the new INEC are less extensive compared to the current electoral body and some of its tasks are performed by different state institutions it is essential that the independence, impartiality, transparency and efficiency of the electoral process should be maintained and fully ensured under the new constitutional design.
