Taking into account the realities

23.03.2016

Parliamentarians Vadim Krasnoselsky, Galina Antyufeeva and Peter Pasat suggested amendments to the electoral law. The legislator paid attention to the contents of the proposed rules by the authors, one of which is to expand the list of grounds for early voting by supplementing it valid reasons such as business trip and perform public duties. The law-in-draft also reflects the opinion of the Central Election Commission regarding the distribution of campaign materials. It was found by international observers in the course of a single day of voting that the products of agitation were placed next to the building of the polling station. There were comments on this occasion from not only international observers, but candidates and voters.

The law-in-draft based on the CEC proposals also expected to introduce a single term - not later than 50 days - for sending proposals in the composition of election commissions. In addition, the document we are talking about is increasing the percentage of tolerance in the formation of constituencies for elections of deputies of municipal councils of people's deputies of Tiraspol and Bendery. It is today within the allowable 10%, legislators propose to increase it to 20%. This is due to the changing dynamics of the population in recent years in the districts of the cities of the republic. Co-author Galina Antyufeeva talked about the possibility of clarifying the proposed figures.

The specialized committee on legislation has approved opinion of the Government in view of the need to revise the law-in-draft to the second reading. Legislators unanimously supported amendment to the Electoral Code in the first reading.
