The IEC could consider requiring recording the name and signature (or a finger print) of each voter, in addition to his/her voter card number, against receipt of ballot in order to enhance the value of the polling station voter log as a deterrent against fraud and its possible use during audit and fraud investigation.

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.
