Review of Amendments to the Election Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, adopted on 11 October 2001
The OSCE/ODIHR underscores from the outset that, despite weaknesses in the Election Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, with political will the Code could have provided for reasonably acceptable elections. However, during the 2000 parliamentary and presidential elections, the OSCE/ODIHR concluded that such political will was absent. Thus, the extent to which any new amendments to the Code can have a positive impact will ultimately be determined by the intent of those implementing the Code, those organizing the elections, and those in charge of the various State institutions.
