In line with previous OSCE/ODIHR recommendations, the CEC should ensure a centralized cross-checking mechanism to ensure that each voter is registered at only one polling station before and on election day. Uniform procedures for compiling data for voter registration need to be detailed and consistently implemented. In particular, it is important to incorporate mechanisms that ensure that voters registered at special polling stations are excluded from the voter lists of the polling stations of their residence.

The restriction of suffrage rights of citizens serving prison terms regardless of the severity of the crime committed should be reconsidered to ensure proportionality between the limitation imposed and the severity of the offense. Disenfranchisement of persons with mental disabilities should not be based on the blanket restriction but rather on a case-by-case consideration by the court, depending on specific circumstances.
