Joint Opinion on the Electoral Code of the Republic of Albania
Publishing date: 13 March 2009
Collections: Election-related Legal Opinions and Comments
Content type: Report
Where we are: OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights
What we do: Elections
Publisher: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
This joint opinion comments on the most recent version of the Electoral Code of the Republic of Albania. Earlier opinions of the OSCE/ODIHR and the Council of Europe’s European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission), as well as numerous election reports from previous OSCE/ODIHR and Council of Europe observation missions in Albania, provide excellent background for understanding the historical development of the Code. The most recent version of the Electoral Code continues to incorporate recommendations for improvement. The most significant change is the introduction of a new electoral system intended to alleviate abuses that occurred under the old electoral system.
