Abstract
|
|
|
|
| During 2019, the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), which organizes and conducts the country’s elections, was placed under full scrutiny. In 2016, the Constitutional Court of B&H ruled that several provisions of the Election Law were not in conformity with B&H’s Constitution. To date, the Parliamentary Assembly has not taken steps to amend the Election Law. This is because several ethnic political parties continue to have a decisive influence in the Parliamentary Assembly. Decisions are then the result of balancing interests among constituent peoples. As in the case of the Election Law, established bargaining instruments and mechanisms have caused a status quo in decision-making procedures. The Central Election Commission has tried to apply the decision of the Constitutional Court by issuing an instruction. Ever since, the instruction has caused controversy and raised several constitutional cases in the Constitutional Court. |
