Recommendation:
The Electoral Code should provide for the guarantees of representation in election commissions of members of political parties and ensure a pluralistic composition of the commissions. It is necessary to ensure that the political parties participating in the elections, including parliamentary elections, enjoyed the right to delegate one representative to each territorial, district and precinct election commission. Only in case a political party has not used this right, the local administrative and executive bodies will have the right to fill the vacant seats in the election commissions.
