Consideration should be given to make vote-buying a criminal offence that is a matter of public prosecution. A concrete and genuine commitment from political parties to condemn vote-buying practices could be made.

Article 4 of the Law on Guarantees for Activity of the President should be abolished to ensure that the reputation of the president is protected without undue privileges. The law should prioritize the use of non-pecuniary remedies, and a ceiling should be set for awarding damages that should take into account actual harm proven by the plaintiff as well as any redress already provided through non-pecuniary remedies. The plaintiff should bear the burden of proving the falsity of any statements of fact on matters of public concern.

The CEC’s handling of complaints about the misuse of public resources and intimidation of voters must utilize all available legal remedies to discontinue, sanction, and prevent such practices, conveying a strong message to the public and to offenders that such practices will not be tolerated. To this end, the authorities could create an inter-institutional task force ahead of the next elections, with the inclusion of the CEC, key ministries, law enforcement, and other relevant agencies.
