The law should establish clear hierarchical appellate procedure for the adjudication of election-related complaints and appeals and an effective mechanism to appeal election results. Costs of bringing an action to court should be kept to a minimum in order not to deter citizens from filing a complaint.

The number of commission members appointed at each level should correspond to the actual needs of the electoral administration rather than be the result of the unpredictable number of candidate nominations received. Consideration could be given to increasing the number of DECs or providing that where a DEC has to manage a high number of PECs, it may establish operation centres at district (rayon) level. Consideration could also be given to setting a reasonable maximum number of voters per polling station.

Consideration should be given to amending the election law to provide effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions for violations of campaign rules, as the existing legislation does not include an effective enforcement mechanism to address such violations. Consideration could for instance be given to shortening the timeline for deciding on campaign violations.
