Legislation should foresee periodic review of constituency boundaries by an independent commission to account for population changes. When constituency boundaries are redefined, it should be done in a transparent, impartial and inclusive manner. Concrete constituency boundaries should not be enshrined in cardinal laws that require a two-thirds majority to amend and consideration should be given to introducing a formula that would allow flexibility in adjusting boundaries.

To ensure balanced coverage, the law should be amended to require public and private broadcast media to cover the election campaign fairly and impartially in information and current affairs programmes. Media should clearly distinguish between the campaign activities of candidates and activities of public officials and coverage of such events. Public television should be given financial and editorial independence, including from the MTVA.
