Paragraph 23
 

Other parts of the Law, as the rules about the updating and correction of data of the Register of Voters may be too detailed, but in general seem to be realistic. Only the provision of regular checks using information owned by other public organs (Ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice, State Tax Administration and the State Department for Execution of Services, art. 17.2) may pose some difficulties, if it is not handled within the legal framework to the respect of personal data. And, as it may be also pointed out with reference to the Law on Election of Deputies, it is also arguable if regular checks should be fixed at certain moments referred to the future elections (“from September 1 to November 1 of the year preceding the year of regular elections of deputies and from February 1 to April 1 of the year preceding the year of regular elections of the President”, art. 17.3), instead of regularly (every year or every two years, for instance), or at a given moment after last elections (for instance, two/three years).
