The amendments were adopted through two readings in one day with the votes of the majority in Parliament, without the participation of the opposition, one day after the judgement of the Constitutional Court declaring Article 16(2)(e) of the Electoral code relating to ineligibility to be elected unconstitutional. The law was promulgated the same day by the President of the Republic, coming into force two days before the deadline for the registration of candidates and one month before the local elections called for 5 November 2023. According to the information note attached to the draft law, the authorities amended the legislation with the stated aim to implement two Constitutional Court decisions: the 19 June decision by which the Şor party was declared unconstitutional and the 3 October one declaring Article 16(2)(e) unconstitutional. However, the Constitutional Court did not explicitly mandate in these decisions any legislative amendments for these decisions to be fully implemented. This decision does not automatically exclude any further restrictive measures.
