61. Article 55.5 further states that a vacant civil service position shall be filed either on a competitive or non-competitive basis; however, the draft does not specify the conditions for each choice, except that some positions will be filled non-competitively in the event the position is not filled within the established time limits. Article 10 of the Draft Law on Civil Service also vests the CEC with the powers to adopt the procedure for conducting a competition for holding a vacant civil position. The Electoral Code should provide for clear procedures for recruitment, with timeframes that do not hinder the work of the CEC, especially during the election period. Having clear procedures in place would also contribute to the transparency and trust in the system.54
