Paragraph 25
 

25.  Previously, the composition of election bodies followed a “balanced, mixed” approach – one under which a core membership of professionals (on electoral commissions, judges from various courts chosen by lot) was supplemented by members (also including judges) nominated by the main governing and opposition parties in Parliament. As is common in systems of this nature, the balance of party nominees to appointed professionals increased as the level in the hierarchy of election bodies decreased.
