Voters could benefit from various types of voter education programs, including:
a. broader aspects of the voting process (in addition to how to mark different ballots), including sensitizing voters to issues such as family and group voting,
b. those directed particularly at minority voters. Development and implementation of such programs should be done in close co-operation with relevant minority civic organizations, considering the conditions of specific communities, such as (functional) illiteracy, level of education and linguistic needs,
c. on out-of-country voting provisions, including outreach programs to better implement legal provisions through which refugees could register to vote for the first time.

A gender quota that ensures parity of male and female candidates on candidate lists should be considered, and dissuasive sanctions for not complying with the quota should be applied. Political parties should facilitate women’s political advancement, increase visibility of female candidates during electoral campaigns, and integrate gender issues into their platforms. To encourage this, consideration could be given to increases in state funding for parties that promote gender equality, additional free access to public media for women candidates, and annual party subsidies to fund women’s wings of political parties.
