Subtopic of primary thematic area:
Support signatures
Recommendation:
Amend the Article 138 of the Electoral Code to review the formula for calculating the number of signatures necessary to be registered as a candidate for the position of mayor. The current formula is one that burdens the process of filling in the subscription lists for constituencies with a larger number of voters (starting with 20,000, for example). It is also extremely demanding for settlements as Chisinau and Balti municipalities
Action required:
