SECOND PRELIMINARY JOINT OPINION on the draft Electoral Code of Armenia
as of 18 April 2016. At its 107th Plenary Session, on 10-11 June 2016, the Venice
Commission endorsed the Joint Opinion with the OSCE/ODIHR on the draft electoral
code of Armenia as of 18 April 2016. At this Plenary Session, the Minister of Justice
informed the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR that additional amendments,
including changes that addressed recommendations made in the first Joint Opinion,
could be submitted to parliament at an extraordinary session before the end of June
2016. The Minister therefore invited the rapporteurs to hold a working meeting with
the Armenian authorities in order to discuss possible additional improvements to
the code. The Minister also requested another joint opinion on the final version of
the amended Electoral Code, particularly in light of the extent to which these new
amendments addressed the recommendations presented in the first Joint Opinion. The
Minister asked that this opinion be again transmitted and made public in preliminary
form during the month of July. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR granted this
request. The Minister confirmed this request in a letter sent on 2 July 2016.

PRELIMINARY JOINT OPINION on the Draft Law on Introduction of Changes and
Amendments to the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, prepared by the ODIHR and

provisions on the status of international human rights treaties and their position in the
hierarchy of norms, the separation of powers, the dismissal of members of Cabinet, the
manner of appointing/dismissing heads of local state administration, the independence
of the judiciary and of judges as well as the roles of the Supreme Court, and of the
Constitutional Chamber, among others. It is proposed that amendments to the
Constitution may negatively impact the balance of powers by strengthening the powers
of the executive, while weakening both the parliament and the judiciary.
