Paragraph 124
 

124. The Draft Code provides that each gender have at least 30% representation in the composition of electoral bodies.[91] Although this provision might be difficult to implement, it is welcome since it has been noted informally that electoral boards with female representation have received higher ratings by observers. On the other hand, the language of the provision is vague, and it is not clear whether the 30% rule would apply to each election body, or to all such bodies taken together.
