“Voter registration is passive and decentralized. Voter lists are compiled by local executive authorities and sent to the respective PECs. PECs are responsible for verifying and updating voter lists, including through door-to-door checks, but no information about these updates was publicized. PECs could add voters to lists immediately prior to and on election day, based on proof of residence, contrary to international standards. The ODIHR EOM observers noted on election day that PECs added an average of 5.7 voters per polling station to voter lists, mostly prior to and some on election day.”
