Paragraph 73
 

According to Article 17.2, "Precincts are formed with the number of not less than 20 and not more than 3000 voters, participants of the referendum". A number of 20 voters is small and does not guarantee secret voting.[26] At the same time, the number of 3000 voters in one precinct is large and there is no guarantee that all voters will have the chance to vote on election day. Article 17.2 should be amended to reflect more reasonable minimum and maximum numbers of voters in a polling station.
