The current work period of ERJK ends on April 27. The new commission will start work at the end of April. The first meeting will take place after the new members have been elected.
Liisa Oviir says that six political parties, the Chancellor of Justice, the National Audit Office, and the Electoral Service must present new members by April 17. On April 30, a new commission will be convened to elect a chair and vice-chair.
Oviir praises the past five years. She says the commission has worked well, but the meetings are long and discussions difficult. Sometimes the work is complicated because the laws are not perfect.
Oviir says the commission works according to the laws. But she has some recommendations for the legislator. She wants the work to be fairer and simpler.
One major problem is the advertisements of local governments in newspapers. Oviir says that dealing with them is difficult and exhausting. But it is an important part of politics.
Oviir believes that ERJK has done good work. She hopes that new laws will make the work even better.
