It has been established that a technical mistake has been found in the text of the High Representative‘s Decision Enacting the Law on Amendments to the Election Law of Bosnia and Herzegovina (No. 17/24), and accordingly we now provide the following 

CORRIGENDA 

OF THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE DECISION
ENACTING THE LAW

ELECTION LAW OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA (No. 17/24)
 

It is necessary to make a correction in the text of Article 20.16b so that in the first sentence, after the words “Central Election Commission of BiH” the words” shall not be subject to the condition of age-based retirement provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of Article 2.5a of this Law” and a comma (,) shall be added. 

Therefore, the complete text of the Article 20.16b shall read as follows:
