Paragraph 51
 

In the opinion of the Venice Commission and ODIHR, amending electoral legislation while the electoral process is ongoing is usually intended, or may appear to be intended, to manipulate the electoral process in pursuance of partisan interests, unless the amendments pursue a prevailing fundamental legitimate interest, such as the protection of the very integrity of the elections.
