According to articles 13-22 of the Law on Voter Registration of 1 July 2005, voter registration is undertaken by state officials at local level under the supervision of the CNE, and is monitored by representatives of political parties.
In terms of article 211 of the Electoral Law, the Ministry for Territorial Administration is required to hand over all voter registration management and documentation, including software and computerised databases, to the CNE. This was to be preceded by an audit conducted by an independent entity employed by the CNE and chosen through a public tender.
