The judgment of the Constitutional Court of 22 June 2017 in case United Democratic Movement v. President of the National Assembly refers to the possibility of admitting a secret vote on a motion for a vote of no confi dence in the President. Despite the lack of an explicit constitutional foundation, the Constitutional Court confi rmed the right of the President of the National Assembly to choose between an open and a secret vote. Nonetheless, the opposing values shall thereby be considered, such as the voters’ right to information on the scope of exercising the mandate by their representatives and the representatives’ right to vote in accordance with their conscience, free from pressure of not only the voters, but mainly the political party which they are members of.
