The National Election Commission (OVB) would like to change or do away with the present nomination slips collected by candidates for Parliament, according to its report to the legislature.
The OVB would favour a form of nomination paper that would be less susceptible to abuse, or have parties pay a deposit which would be reimbursed if the candidate receives a certain level of voter support.
Existing regulations require candidates to collect at least 750 signatures in their constituency in support of their nomination. Parties that collect at least 20,000 signatures may field lists in the European parliamentary elections.
