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.

The rights of citizen observers should not be unduly restricted. While the law may limit the number of observers at a polling station, it should allow civil society organizations to accredit enough observers to adequately follow developments at any given election commission. Considerations could be given to lifting restrictions on the number of commissions where an individual can observe.

To enhance the transparency of campaign funding and eliminate disadvantages based on contestants’ financial capacity, the legal framework should be revised to allow in-kind donations and voluntary services for campaign purposes. Such non-financial contributions should be reflected in contestants’ financial reports, for instance as estimates calculated at market prices.

The requirement for pre-approval of paid political advertisements by the CEC should be reconsidered as it gives the CEC excessive control over parties’ campaigns. Consideration could be given to introducing more effective sanctions for violations of the rules related to the content of paid political advertisement, as deregistration is a disproportionate sanction for minor campaign-related violations.

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.
