Article 31(2)(35) of the Electoral Code, which mandates the SEC to inspect voting material upon a complaint only if at least two complaints are submitted for a respective polling station, should be removed as it undermines the right to effective legal remedies. There should be no threshold for the number of complaints to be filed before they are considered.

The authorities should consider taking vigorous steps to counter any forms of pressure on or intimidation of voters, which was the most serious problem identified by the OSCE/ODIHR EOM in connection with the 2009 elections. In particular, senior public officials, including especially cabinet ministers and heads of public agencies, institutions, and companies, could make clear public statements and issue written instructions before and during the campaign period that no pressure on public employees will be tolerated and that no employee or citizen should fear for their employment, pension or social services as a result of supporting or not supporting any political party or candidate. Furthermore, cases of intimidation of citizens registered by the police and other law-enforcement bodies should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted.
