As pointed out in previous OSCE/ODIHR recommendations, the IEC should release information about partial, preliminary and final results disaggregated to the polling station level and including the information about unused, invalid, spoiled and valid ballots. Consideration should be given to releasing all processed partial results at regular intervals, i.e. at the end of every second or third day during the tabulation. Introduction of relatively short time intervals between releases of partial results could be an effective measure to counter allegations of shaping the public perception of the results.

In order to promote transparency the IEC could separately post both original results and those amended by any audit. This could provide an opportunity for in-depth analysis of the extent and possible causes of inconsistencies or fraud and assist in designing responses to the discovered problems in future elections.
