Joint Opinion on the Draft Electoral Code of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Publishing date: 21 March 2006
The Draft Electoral Code would provide a better integrated and unitary legislative framework for the administration of most elections. The Draft Code would make numerous improvements in the provisions currently included in the main election laws, including the Laws on the Election of Members of Parliament, on the Election of the President, and on Local Elections. In addition, other election-related laws, such as those on the Voter List and Election Districts (for parliamentary elections) have been incorporated in revised form into the Draft Code.
Joint Opinion on the Electoral Code of Moldova, as amended on 22 July, 4 and 17 November 2005
Publishing date: 20 March 2006
The Moldovan electoral system and its Electoral Code have been subject to a number of recommendations for improvement, by the OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe over the past years. The most comprehensive set of such recommendations is found in the document called Joint Recommendations on the Electoral Law and the Electoral Administration in Moldova of 12 July 2004 (CDL-AD(2004)027), hereinafter called “the Joint Recommendations”. The document, however, makes it clear that it focuses on the questions arising from local elections and will in general not develop aspects specific to parliamentary elections, such as the existence of a single constituency. Another set of recommendations is given in the Venice Commission Opinion on the Election Law of the Republic of Moldova, 16 January 2003 (CDL-AD(2003)001), hereinafter called “the Opinion on the Election Law”.
