The Venice Commission furthermore recommends that such a reform also takes into account previous recommendations relating to the distribution of constituencies and drawing of constituency boundaries, which were already made in 2012[52] and partly reiterated in 2021,[53] and which have still not been implemented, namely:
- to review the existing provisions for determining constituency boundaries through cardinal laws by adding the mathematical formula and ensuring involvement of independent experts as well as all parties represented in Parliament, preferably by establishing an independent committee to draw the boundaries[54] in the election law;
- to define in the law the distribution method for distributing the single-mandate electoral constituencies among the administrative counties, including the city of Budapest;
- to define in the law the maximum admissible variation between electoral constituencies within a county to a maximum of 10 per cent from the country average;[55]
- to define in law a clear, periodical review of the distribution of seats, at least every 10 years, preferably more frequently and outside electoral periods, not waiting for a 20 per cent limit to be crossed, as defined in the current election law.[56]
