The mission of observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE, for the upcoming parliamentary elections on 11 July presented their interim report for the period from 9 to 23 June.

The amendments to the Election Code regarding mandatory machine voting are “welcomed as a level of improvement, but some noted that the amendments were adopted hastily and without sufficient public consultations,” the report reads

The OSCE report questions “the capacity of the election administration to efficiently implement the extended use of machine voting”. The OSCE interlocutors express an opinion that the “short timeline for voter education and certification of the voting machines has a negative impact on the public trust in the implementation of machine voting.”
