In addition to the aforementioned procedural shortcomings, the introduction of the amendment less than one year before the upcoming local elections scheduled for October 2025 is also at odds with the principle of stability of electoral law. This principle requires that fundamental rules of electoral law should not be open to amendment less than one year prior to an election. Among others, the drawing of the constituency boundaries and the rules relating to the distribution of seats between the constituencies as well as the electoral system proper, i.e. rules relating to the transformation of votes into seats, are considered to be fundamental rules of electoral law.
