Procedure on the determination of parties that propose BCT members

(point 1/1 added by Law No. 74/2012, dated 19 July 2012)

1. The political parties with the right to propose the third and the fourth member of the BCTs, with the exception of parties that propose the chair and deputy chair of the CEAZ, shall be determined by drawing lots at the CEC between the list of political parties of the parliamentary majority and the list of parties of the parliamentary opposition that are registered in the elections and that have won no fewer than two seats in the preceding elections for the Assembly. In any case, after the drawing of lots for each EAZ, the right to propose two members of the Ballot Counting Teams shall belong to one party of the parliamentary majority and to one party of the parliamentary opposition.

1/1. If none of the political parties with the right to propose the third and fourth member meet the requirement determined in this Article, the right to propose shall be transferred, on a case-by-case basis, to the political party that proposes the chair or deputy chair of the CEAZ within the same political grouping.

2. No later than 30 days before the election date, the CEC shall organise the drawing of lots for each EAZ in the presence of the interested political parties. The procedures for drawing lots shall be determined by a special instruction of the CEC.
