To ensure a transparent and credible electoral process, the CEC and DECs should consider all complaints on merits, regardless of technical irregularities, and adjudicate them impartially in open sessions, making public all complaints and decisions. Courts should apply broad interpretation of the law on admissibility and adjudicate cases and draft decisions using sound and coherent reasoning. Measures could be taken to enhance consistency in court decisions.
