The accuracy of vote counting should be improved. Training for PSC members should be strengthened, with a special focus on the vote count and the completion of results protocols. Possibility of random recounts of the PSC voting results for all races and across all constituencies could be considered. Should technical solutions for automatic counting be introduced, a comprehensive feasibility study and piloting should be undertaken, with procurement, security and other pertinent issues discussed sufficiently in advance of the elections and in an inclusive manner.
