The accuracy, accountability and quality of the electoral process could benefit from better quality of election materials. The ballot papers for voting by mail could be printed in different colour to avoid potential misuse for in-person voting. In order to avoid fraudulent usage of ballots which are not of the prescribed form, ballot papers could be printed with a security pattern. The CEC could also consider usage of translucent ballot boxes to increase the transparency of the election process.

The process of voting in the PS could benefit by a simplification of certain election day procedures. For example, the ballot papers need not be hand-counted before the opening of the PSs, so as to avoid their late opening. PSCs should not be required to retain the observer IDs, as these results in additional and unnecessary administrative hassle.

The slow process of counting postal, absentee and tendered ballots and the central control check and tabulation of data from all PSC results protocols in the MCC in Sarajevo should be accelerated and a shorter deadline for producing the final election results established. In this respect, the law should include a provision that the postal ballots are counted only if they are received by the closing of the polls.
