In this respect, procedures regarding their registration and voting should be simplified to the maximum extent possible. The electoral and governmental authorities should intensify their efforts to inform residents in these territories of the means by which they can vote.

To ensure a transparent and credible electoral process, the CEC and DECs should consider all complaints on merits, regardless of technical irregularities, and adjudicate them impartially in open sessions, making public all complaints and decisions. Courts should apply broad interpretation of the law on admissibility and adjudicate cases and draft decisions using sound and coherent reasoning. Measures could be taken to enhance consistency in court decisions.

The complaints framework should be amended to eliminate concurrent jurisdiction and provide a more simplified and coherent process, further broaden stakeholders’ rights to lodge complaints, and revoke the automatic rejection of complaints on technical grounds. If complaints are filed to the wrong institution, that institution should be obliged to forward them to the correct institution. An option to lodge complaints electronically could be introduced, and a standardized complaint form developed. The legal requirement to redact names from court judgements should be revoked.
