To achieve the objectives of the law, all quota requirements should remain enforceable after the registration of candidate lists and relevant sanctions should be provided for cases of non-compliance. This could be achieved by requiring that a vacant position in the parliament is filled by the next candidate on the list from the respective quota. Consideration should be given to placing a candidate from the under-represented gender in at least at every third position on candidate lists. Equivalent placement requirements could be introduced for representatives of national minorities.

Although limiting the number of parliamentary seats a party can obtain may be viewed as a transitory provision to help build a pluralistic political environment, its long-term inclusion in the law should be carefully reviewed. The regional threshold could be reconsidered as it may compromise the principles of a proportional representation system based on a single nationwide constituency.
