The Electoral Code should be amended to address the validity of ballots cast in the wrong ballot box, procedures for including such ballots in the table of results, and the procedures to be followed in case of discrepancies when the number of ballots cast exceeds the number of signatures in the voter list. The Electoral Code may also benefit from a review of the definition of contested ballots and of the procedures for contesting ballots.

Legal deadlines for the registration of candidates for local elections should be aligned with practical deadlines such as the printing of the ballots and the deadlines for appeals. This is particularly relevant in local elections since the number and variety of ballots to be printed is much higher than in parliamentary elections.

The system for adjudication of electoral disputes should be reconsidered in order to provide guarantees for effective redress and to bring the system in line with constitutional provisions and principles of due process. There should be a possibility to challenge CEC decisions on tabulation of results directly before a judicial body rather than before the CEC itself.

Amendments to the Electoral Code could be enacted to prohibit discretionary replacement of CEAZ members by political parties. Additionally, the legal deadlines for VCC and counting team nominations should be strictly abided by. Consideration could be given to introduce alternative appointment mechanisms, similar to those in place for CEAZs, when political parties fail to nominate their candidates for VCCs and counting teams by established deadlines.
