Establishing regional SCPC offices or presence, especially in election periods, could contribute to tackling any election-related corruption. In addition, a concrete deadline for deciding on complaints will ensure timely and effective action.

The requirement that signature collection is performed at the local or regional office of the Ministry of Justice could be reconsidered, in light of assertions by a number of candidates that citizens may consider it intimidating to appear before a government official to sign in support of an opposition candidate. One alternative would be to allow candidates and parties to organize the signature collection themselves. In this case, the SEC should be tasked with verifying the signatures, possibly using a random sample.
