Primary Thematic Area:
Election administration
Subtopic of primary thematic area:
Transparency (publication of information, decisions, agenda, etc.)
Recommendation:
Ensure the observance by ECC of the electoral law on the transparency of information about candidates. It is absolutely necessary to analyse the failure of ECC to observe electoral legislation on ensuring public access to the candidates’ declarations of income and assets during local elections, and the publication of the reports on financing electoral campaigns. The Association states that the Commission must come up with proposals either to amend the legislation or to develop real mechanisms in order to ensure the implementation of the existing legal provisions. The consistent toleration by a public authority of cases of non-compliance with the legal provisions in its responsibility area is not in line with the law
