Paragraph 29

 

The existing Law contains 15 Articles (38-52) in Chapter VII, while the draft only has four (36-39).  The main – although not the only – reason is clear: the existing Law dedicates some articles to matters which are no longer meaningful, such as conditions and procedure of registration of Candidates… in a single-mandate constituency (Articles 42, 49), and the rules about the collection of signatures of voters required for presenting candidatures (Articles 43-46).  In addition, it is evident that the remaining rules are simpler since they just refer to party candidatures, and do not have to take into consideration individual – non-party – candidatures.
