In order to ensure stability in the election legislation and further harmonization, efforts should be made to finalize electoral reform well in advance of next elections and to build in safeguards against changing legislation prior to an election. Consideration could also be given to further delegating regulatory authority to the CEC so that, as the principal body responsible for the implementation of the election law, it has the flexibility to promptly react to any changes in the political-security environment in order to ensure uniformity in how emergency situations are addressed.
