n the present situation, it must be noted that the draft amendments clearly concern fundamental elements of the electoral law – namely the composition of the electoral commissions, and the next parliamentary elections are to be conducted in October 2024. As explained above, exceptions to the rule that amendments to the fundamental elements of an electoral system should be adopted at least one year prior to the elections include their adoption at the constitutional level or at a level higher than ordinary law. The ratio of this exception is that in such a case, the amendments would be supported by a broad consensus, including by the opposition. This implies that it applies only if such consensus is reached. A second exception is that the amendments follow recommendations by an international body.
