To ensure the integrity of candidate registration, the authorities should review its procedures and deadlines. To ensure transparency and accountability, the law could mandate prospective candidates to formally commence the nomination procedures before collecting support signatures and prescribe liability and proportionate sanctions for the forgery of supporting signatures. Alternative good practices for candidate registration could also be considered, including a reasonable deposit refundable to the candidates upon receiving a certain number of votes.
