The Venice Commission furthermore recommends that the reform also takes into account 

1)    previous pending recommendations made by the Venice Commission and ODIHR in 2012 and 2021 relating to the distribution of constituencies and drawing of constituency boundaries, including

-  reviewing the determination of constituency boundaries through cardinal laws by adding the mathematical formula in the election law, and ensuring involvement of independent experts;

-  defining in the law the distribution method for distributing the single-mandate electoral constituencies among the administrative counties;

-  defining in the law the maximum admissible variation between electoral constituencies within a county to a maximum of 10 per cent from the country average;

-  defining in the law a clear, periodical review of the distribution of seats, at least every 10 years, preferably more frequently and outside electoral periods;

2)    other pending recommendations made in 2021, listed in the present Opinion, including the key recommendation to significantly reduce the number of single-member constituencies and the number of counties in which each party needs to nominate candidates simultaneously in order to be able to run a national list of candidates;

3)    lessons learned from the 2026 parliamentary elections, including recommendations made by international election observers.
