Further efforts should be undertaken to improve the accuracy of voter registration. To this end, consideration should be given to revising the mechanism of reporting and registration of deaths to ensure timely data exchange and correction of citizens’ records. The authorities could create an effective electronic notification system between the institutions involved, with clearly defined responsibilities and timelines. The duty to report death to the population registries could be transferred to the respective medical institutions.

Serious efforts should be made to ensure the impartiality of election administration. Consideration could be given to revising the method of formation of the PSCs, for example, by limiting eligibility to nominate PSC members only to the parties represented in the state and entity parliaments. Alternative mechanisms for the appointment of PSC members could also be considered, such as open calls, when political parties fail to make timely nominations.

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.
