The legal framework should be reviewed to address identified shortcomings through an inclusive and consultative process and in a timely manner. In particular, the law should be amended to include clear prohibitions and effective sanctions against the misuse of public resources. Consideration should be given to making vote-buying a criminal offence that is a matter of public prosecution. Public sector employees should be shielded from pressure and intimidation. Procedures for establishing campaign violations should be clarified and a system of proportionate sanctions developed, with cancellation of a candidate’s registration possible only as an extraordinary measure for the most serious violations.

The legal framework, including provisions in the Constitution, should be reviewed to ensure compliance with OSCE commitments, other international obligations and standards for democratic elections and address other identified shortcomings through an inclusive, consultative and transparent process well in advance of the next elections. The law-making process must comply with the principles of rule of law and law makers should refrain from using expedited procedures for introducing significant changes to election legislation that require proper consultation.
