The Venice Commission and ODIHR therefore recommend to the Moldovan authorities, if they wish to prevent certain members of parties declared unconstitutional from holding certain elected offices:

• introducing adequate criteria and an effective individual assessment that would limit restrictions of the right to be elected only to those members and/or elected officials of the party whose activities have endangered the Constitution and the integrity of the democratic State, through their actions and expressions, and/or actively pursued the (illegal) goals of the unconstitutional parties;
• affording to these persons the full range of procedural safeguards in the assessment process, including a sufficiently reasoned decision and the possibility to challenge the limitation of rights by providing an opportunity to seek judicial review of the decision to deprive them of the right to stand for election.
