The general requirement of gender balance in the EMBs (Article 11.1 of the LEMP) is generally worded and thus declaratory, which does not provide sufficient clarity on how to implement the norm. The Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend making it more precise by prescribing a clear set of measures, thus ensuring that the norm is applied effectively. In addition, the law could further oblige the REC to report on the implementation of the norm by accumulating and posting the gender breakdown information on its website, both for the standing and for the extended commissions.
