Summary
According to the Constitution, the President of the Republic is elected either by the Riigikogu or the Electoral College. If the President of the Republic is not elected in the Riigikogu, an electoral assembly is convened, consisting of members of the Riigikogu and representatives of local government councils. After the administrative territorial reform of 2017, the number of local government units decreased significantly. Therefore, according to the current law, the number of representatives of councils in the electoral body will also be significantly reduced. With the bill the rules for determining the number of representatives in the electoral council in the elections of the President of the Republic are changed in such a way that the ratio between the members of the Riigikogu and the representatives of the councils, which existed before the administrative territorial reform of 2017, is preserved.
