Paragraph 12
 

The most recent Joint Opinion of 2022 included a number of specific recommendations, some of which were addressed by the revised draft amendments to the Election Code adopted on 22 December 2022, while others were not followed. The legislative issues that remained unaddressed in recent reforms broadly relate to, among others, constituency delimitation, restrictive residence requirements for presidential and parliamentary candidates and other undue criteria on voter and candidate eligibility, additional aspects regarding the formation of election commissions, provisions on the misuse of official position for campaign purposes, high donation limits for election campaigns affecting the level playing field, further regulation and oversight of campaign finance, further elaborating media campaign regulations, strengthening the framework for electoral dispute resolution to ensure effective legal remedy, recounts and annulments, and measures to prevent voter intimidation.
