The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR provide an opinion on the consolidated Election Law of the Republic of Armenia, 1999 as amended to December 2007. This draft opinion is based upon an English translation of the law without further clarifications with the Armenian text. It is possible that some issues have been misinterpreted due to incorrect translation. Previous Joint Opinions by the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR focused on three main issues: election administration, complaints and appeals, and mechanism for ensuring the integrity of the vote. Previous opinions always underscored that the conduct of genuinely democratic elections depends not only on a detailed and solid election code but on good faith implementation of the election legislation.

In April 2008, the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted amendments to the Election Code. Following an official request from the Moldova authorities forwarded to the Venice Commission on 28 August, and in line with their usual co-operation, the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission have undertaken a joint expert review of the Election Code of Moldova (hereinafter “the code”) as amended. The present opinion should be read in conjunction with the Joint Opinion of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR, adopted by the Venice Commission at its 73rd Plenary Session in December 2007.
