English term

staggered terms

English to Serbian Law/Patents Government / Politics Election legislation
A central election commission established on the basis of institutional quotas would include representatives from major state institutions, generally from the legislative, judicial and executive branches. In a pluralistic political environment, political interests would generally be represented in the central election-administration body through nominations by the legislative branch. The institutional quota model is well suited to the introduction of staggered terms for central election-administration body members, to ensure continuity.

English term (edited): staggered terms [for the mandates of commission members]
Selected

мандати чланова комисије који се (временски) не поклапају / који се преклапају


постепена замена чланова комисије (замена чланова комисије у сменама?)


staggered terms = the terms (the mandates of different commission members) do no start/finish at the same time IOW you don't get into a situation where all members are totally new [= to ensure continuity].

If there are say 5 members with each a five year mandate, instead of replacing the whole commission every five years, every year only one member would be replaced - so the replacement of members would be staggered in time [i.e. "in stages" / "step by step"]

sistem (vremenski) rasporedjenih mandata

uvođenje (vremenski) rasporedjenih mandata članova izbornih komisija

Pravna regulativa takodje mora da propiše da je način odabiranja članstva izborne komisije nepristrasan i objektivan. Pored toga, predlaže se da mandati članova izbornih komisija budu rasporedjeni kako bi se obezbedio kontinuitet u radu sukcesivnih komisija (OSCE(OEBS)


To stagger things means to arrange them so that they do not all happen at the same time
