Consideration should be given to ensuring the independence of the NTRBC during the whole duration of its mandate and to ensuring that any possible conflicts of interest of individual NTRBC members during the pre-election period are avoided. Furthermore, consideration should be given to enhancing the capacity of the regulatory body to oversee and fully ensure the broadcast media’s compliance with the legislation, as well as to address media-related complaints and impose effective sanctions for possible violations during the election campaign. Decisions of the independent regulatory body should be taken in a timely manner and made public.

The election law should be amended to eliminate the existing gaps and inconsistencies so as to reduce the scope for non-uniform application of the law and the resulting problems in the adjudication of electoral disputes. The CEC should adopt additional regulations wherever the law does not provide sufficient detail. Both the CEC and the courts should refrain from delivering inconsistent decisions and should treat like cases alike. Consideration could be given to procedural rearrangements in the higher courts so that electoral disputes are adjudicated by the same panels, or that other safeguards are provided against inconsistent application of law by the same court.

Consideration should be given to rearranging practical aspects of the counting and tabulation processes, so as to facilitate the receipt and processing of election materials on election night. For instance, paper packages for election materials used by PECs could be replaced with sturdier packages to avoid damage during transportation and thus unnecessary consequences at DECs.
