The system for adjudication of electoral disputes should be reconsidered in order to provide guarantees for effective redress and to bring the system in line with constitutional provisions and principles of due process. There should be a possibility to challenge CEC decisions on tabulation of results directly before a judicial body rather than before the CEC itself.

Ballot counting centres should be laid out in such a way that observers can properly follow all aspects of the vote counting. The distance between the space reserved for observers, the counting tables, and CEAZ meetings should not be such that meaningful observation becomes impossible.

Amendments to the Electoral Code could be enacted to prohibit discretionary replacement of CEAZ members by political parties. Additionally, the legal deadlines for VCC and counting team nominations should be strictly abided by. Consideration could be given to introduce alternative appointment mechanisms, similar to those in place for CEAZs, when political parties fail to nominate their candidates for VCCs and counting teams by established deadlines.

Authorities and political parties could consider more resolute steps to ensure that pressure is not applied on public-sector employees, political activists or others to attend campaign events or vote in a particular way. Any such pressure should be investigated with perpetrators brought to justice in accordance with the law.

The Electoral College should act within its jurisdiction, and compel the CEC to adopt required decisions. Any CEC decision with a discretionary component should be referred back to the CEC with an order to take a (new) decision. In the event that the CEC is ultimately not able to adopt such decisions, alternative mechanisms to address such impasses could be explored through an inclusive process.
