Summary/Abstract: Coding steps aimed at ensuring greater legal certainty and a better accessibility of law, in accordance with constitutional requirements related to ensuring voting rights. The "code" is a coherent body of texts encompassing, according to a systematic plan, all rules relating to a subject. Coherence law requires that an industry as a whole is governed by a single law. Clarity legislation is another essential aspect of a modern administration can be achieved only through quality editorial normative acts, but also involves the availability of these acts, despite the changes that are made. On the other hand, the principle of legality - a true constitutional postulate - turn rule requires systematic, clear and coherent governing the work of public authorities, so that normative system to be understood by all and, therefore, easily controllable. Recipients law must be able to ascertain unequivocally what their rights and obligations conferred or imposed by law, and the law must be predictable. It cannot be denied legal difficulty of this approach, due to its overwhelming scale. In this context, the practical limits of the process of encoding data that can be encoded and every legal or regulatory provisions in a particular field. Exception is justified by the fact that no specific rules based their coding solution. However, codification is an indispensable aspect of improving direct knowledge of materials and administrative texts and is therefore a "technical necessity" for users of administrative law. Have shown that adopting an electoral code will facilitate the use of uniform terminology for the same legal realities, institutions, principles and legal concepts, thereby reducing the risk of interpreting them differently. Adoption of the electoral code stable over time, would increase confidence in the continuity and sustainability of electoral regulations.
