Paragraph 125
 

125. The previous Venice Commission-ODIHR Opinion noted that an article of the Draft Code would have required that submitters of candidate lists fill out a special form and enclose their “registration certificate from the competent court”. As stated, the provision appeared to apply to independent slates of candidates – namely, those put forward by “groups of voters”. Thus there was concern, that the provision would have required such groups to list civilly as well as within the electoral system before commencing the nomination process. That issue was addressed by reformulating the current article of the Code to make this requirement applicable only to political parties submitting candidate lists.[92]
