Another measure to ensure minority representation is the increased coefficient for seat distribution for national minority electoral lists in Article 140. In the law applicable for the 2022 elections, this coefficient was 35 per cent. However, the rapporteurs learned that this coefficient had been changed in the past on several occasions, reducing the foreseeability for candidates. The Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend keeping the coefficient over several elections to ensure foreseeability and predictability for minority candidates, as well as the stability of election law. Most significantly, this coefficient should not be changed close to the elections.
