Ministry of Justice Finalizes Electoral Code Amendments Following Ten-Week Review
The Ministry of Justice has announced the final phase of amendments to the Electoral Code, following a ten-week review conducted by the Working Group on Electoral Reforms. The group, established on June 22, 2026, operates under the oversight of the ministry and has been examining proposed changes to the electoral legislation. Central to the Working Group’s deliberations were recommendations from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Organization for Democracy Assistance (ODIHR).
These recommendations, stemming from observations during previous election cycles, were a key focus, with significant consensus achieved and incorporated into the proposed amendments. The Working Group thoroughly reviewed all proposals originating from the OSCE/ODIHR. The Ministry of Justice continues to oversee the process, ensuring the amendments align with the reform agency’s objectives.
This ongoing work aims to refine the Electoral Code and address concerns identified through international observation. Further details regarding the specific changes are expected to be released shortly.
