The Electoral Code should be comprehensively reviewed in order to eliminate inconsistencies, harmonize it with other relevant legislation, and to bring it in line with OSCE commitments, international obligations and good practice. Comprehensive rules for campaigning, including access to the media and campaign finance in presidential elections, should be established to ensure equitable opportunities for both presidential and parliamentary candidates. Any such legislative reform should be public, inclusive, and carried out sufficiently in advance of the next election.
