Article 70 provides for the presence of national and international observers "at all stages of the referendum process", which is very positive; see also Article 54 (repeated in Article 69) for the vote count and Article 81 for the tabulation process. It should be noted, however, that on this point too, the power is in the exclusive hands of the CEP, which alone can accredit observers (Articles 70 to 79), and that it is referred to specific regulations (Article 71).23 In particular, provision should be made for an obligation to facilitate access for observers at all stages of the process. The Venice Commission recommends the adoption of regulations in line with international standards, taking into account, where necessary, the specific situation of international observers.24
