BRATISLAVA, May 21, (WEBNOVINY) – Interior Minister Daniel Lipsic announced earlier this week that a draft election code should be prepared by the end of this year. The minister further said that the first part of the election code, which contains general provisions, has already been prepared. At present, they are working on the part dedicated to individual types of elections.
The department is also preparing changes to funding of political parties, to make it more transparent. Lipsic explained that the two issues are related. “If there is a permanent election committee established by the election code, one alternative is that it would be in charge of auditing and controlling political parties’ funding,” he added.
