Paragraph 13
 

Chapter 3 of the Election Law regulates the Central Voters Register. All of Chapter 3 was amended in 2006 and several articles are again amended by the latest amendments. These amendments incorporate by reference several other laws regulating citizen identification numbers and cards, residency registration, data exchange, maintenance of records on citizens, and the activities of other state authorities. To some extent, the degree to which an accurate list of voters will be established depends on other legislation and state authorities other than the Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Any significant deficiencies, if they exist in other legislation, will be highlighted by efforts to implement the legislation. No obvious deficiencies, however, appear from the text of the proposed amendments.
