The accuracy, accountability and quality of the electoral process could benefit from better quality of election materials. The ballot papers for voting by mail could be printed in different colour to avoid potential misuse for in-person voting. In order to avoid fraudulent usage of ballots which are not of the prescribed form, ballot papers could be printed with a security pattern. The CEC could also consider usage of translucent ballot boxes to increase the transparency of the election process.
