Paragraph 55
 

55.  The absence of enforcement authority against electoral officials who violate electoral laws and regulations was a main drawback in the Draft Code previously reviewed by the Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR. The organisations therefore especially welcome these new measures to address this issue. It is be hoped, furthermore, that electoral commissions, particularly the SEC, will also act on their inherent authority, to recover any funds (including stipends or expenses) provided to violators, and if appropriate impose additional financial sanctions.
