The legal framework could benefit from a comprehensive review to eliminate inconsistencies and ambiguities, as well as the contradictions between the Election Code and other laws. Legislative reforms should be undertaken well in advance of elections, through open and inclusive consultations with all election stakeholders. These should be addressed in a context of broader issues such as rule of law and public confidence in the judicial system.

Consideration could be given to designating an independent body with means and resources to oversee campaign finance and to impose sanctions in cases of violations. Should this body remain to be the CEC, it should be vested with full oversight authority and responsibilities and should exercise them more determinedly. The reporting obligations should be made more detailed. Verification, oversight and enforcement mechanisms should be strengthened in line with previous OSCE/ODIHR and GRECO recommendations.

The establishment of a national address register to support civil status and residency registration would contribute to increased accuracy of source data used for voter registration.
