This report compiles some of the proposals (over 100) put forth by the political parties for amending the election legislation of Kazakhstan. The document is based on the tabulation of all proposals carried out by the Central Election Commission (CEC). The compilation is neither exhaustive nor comprehensive since it does not include all proposals consolidated in the CEC table. Rather, the focus is on areas that enjoy a broad support among political parties. The aim is to review some issues identified by the parties as areas of concern in the current legislation. The format of the document deviates from the CEC table. However, articles of the election law to which amendments are proposed are indicated as well as the name of the party behind the proposals. In addition, the complete proposal in Russian is preceded by a short English summary of each party proposal presented in this report. This compilation does not replace and should be read in conjunction with the full length report prepared by the CEC on proposals presented by political parties and previous OSCE/ODIHR reports on elections.

This report reviews key issues on the resolution of election disputes, appeals against election decisions and election offences and administrative violations under the law of Kazakhstan. It draws extensively on a detailed assessment prepared by Denis Petit, Legal Expert. The report also draws on other OSCE/ODIHR election reports on Kazakhstan, in particular the Review of the Legal Framework for the Parliamentary Elections (29 June 1999), supplemented by recommendations contained in the Needs Assessment Mission Report (25 August 1999), the Final Report on the October 1999 Parliamentary Elections (20 January 2000) and the Review of the Election Legislation for Parliamentary Elections (18 January 2001). The legal framework for the conduct of elections is provided by the Constitution, the Constitutional Law of 28 June 1999 on Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan, provisions on election offences and violations contained in the Criminal Code and the new Administrative Violations Code, regulations adopted by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) and other acts. The principal source of election rules is the 1999 Law and chapter 11 of the new Administrative Violations Code.

This report provides an assessment of two laws of the Republic of Serbia, the Law on Elections of Members of Parliament and the Law on Elections of the President of the Republic. The parliamentary election law was adopted in October 2000. The presidential law dates from 1990. Under the Constitution of Serbia, the National Assembly is a unicameral body and consists of 250 members directly elected by secret ballot for a term of four years. The president is elected directly by secret ballot for a term of five years. Most of the key issues relating to the election and recall of the president are regulated by reference to the parliamentary election law. The report therefore focuses on the content of that law.
