THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA- Opinion on the issue of the re-appointment of the members of the State Election Commission
THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA- Opinion on the issue of the re-appointment of the members of the State Election Commission
The results of new members to the State Election Commission at this time could lead to a body which is insufficiently trained before the anticipated presidential and local elections in spring 2009. Even those well trained will require time to develop a proper working procedure, which has the possibility to impact upon preparations for the upcoming elections.[7] The appointment of new members to the State Election Commission would also remove any institutional memory and know-how. These important considerations for a well administered election process should be taken into account when appointing election commissioners.
