Paragraph 44
 

Voters may file written statements concerning inaccuracies about the voter lists from its initial display at the election commission headquarter (no later than 25 days prior to elections in accordance with Article 38.7) to PECs until 17 days prior to election day (Article 39.6). However, Article 39.7 also sets out a process according to which voters can file written complaints directly to the State Voter Register Maintenance Body. For these complaints voters are only given two days (“only after the end of the time period defined by part six of this Article, but no later than fifteen days prior to election day”). It is unclear in the draft law why there are two separate filing procedures to these two bodies, and furthermore, why the timeline for filing complaints directly to the maintenance body is so short. It is recommended to clarify and harmonise these provisions.
