The legal framework should be reviewed to address identified shortcomings through an inclusive and consultative process and in a timely manner. In particular, the law should be amended to include clear prohibitions and effective sanctions against the misuse of public resources. Consideration should be given to making vote-buying a criminal offence that is a matter of public prosecution. Public sector employees should be shielded from pressure and intimidation. Procedures for establishing campaign violations should be clarified and a system of proportionate sanctions developed, with cancellation of a candidate’s registration possible only as an extraordinary measure for the most serious violations.

To work towards more equal representation of women in parliament, authorities should increase the gender quota for party lists and provide for additional mechanisms to retain the quota between registration and the election day. Parties could introduce internal mechanisms for mainstreaming a gender perspective in parties’ rules, policies and practices, including but not limited to, increasing the number of women candidates, enhancing the support they receive for standing as candidates, and placing more women in higher positions on candidate lists.
