On procedural issues, the Venice Commission recalls that stability of electoral law is an essential element of legal certainty. In the present case, due the limited scope of the amendments adopted less than five months before the next elections, the principle of stability has not been violated. The Venice Commission notes however the Moldovan context of frequent changes to the electoral system and their lack of transparency, which can affect voter confidence in the electoral system, as well as the hasty process for the adoption of the Law. It also recalls that every effort must be made to ensure that the amendments are properly implemented.
