There are two levels of EMBs under the REC: local electoral commissions and polling boards. LECs, newly introduced as mid-level commissions for the conduct of parliamentary and presidential elections, are also regulated in the Law on Local Elections. The rules for appointment and composition appear to roughly mirror those of the REC, including the prohibition for one councillor’s group to nominate more than half the members and deputy members of the electoral commission in its standing composition (Article 20 of the LLE). The Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend if changes are made to the appointment and composition of the REC, that similar changes may be considered for the LECs.
