43. In the view of the Venice Commission and ODIHR, these requirements are too formalistic, as according to the principle of good administration all the necessary documents or data should be requested directly from the competent authorities and transfer of such information should be automatic, not necessitating the political parties to request for additional verification documentation. What would be the consequences if such documents cannot be obtained in time and the competent authority in violation of the law does not provide for the necessary document in time? A court procedure may not solve the issue, being too time-consuming. The Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend that the CEC itself request the documents from other competent institutions and may deregister candidates and party lists if substantive criteria for standing in elections are not fulfilled. In contrast, in case of only minor deficiencies, deregistration of candidates would not be in accordance with the principle of universal suffrage and genuine elections.
