The election law could benefit from a comprehensive review to eliminate gaps and ambiguities and address recommendations of the OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission, including on signature collection and verification, candidate registration, the financing and conduct of the electoral campaign, sanctions on election violations, campaign restrictions, further strengthening measures to advance women’s participation and the holding of a second round. Election-related provisions of other legislation, including the Criminal Code, could also be reviewed and updated. The review process should be inclusive and completed well ahead of the next elections.

To enhance the transparency and oversight of campaign finances, previous OSCE/ODIHR, Venice Commission and GRECO recommendations should be addressed. A body with adequate capacity, technical expertise and independence to exercise its functions effectively should be empowered for such oversight. Should the CEC remain the competent oversight body, it should be given sufficient authority and resources to conduct effective campaign finance oversight. The law could prescribe graduated and proportionate sanctions for campaign finance violations.

The election-dispute resolution system would benefit from an overall review to eliminate gaps and inconsistencies in order to provide for effective legal redress. In particular, the law should grant every voter a right to file a complaint on every stage of the electoral process, set out the competences and detailed procedures for different types of complaints, provide the deadlines for decisions on post-election complaints, including in-between two rounds of election, if required.

As previously recommended, decisions on locations for polling stations abroad should be taken transparently and based on clear and consistent criteria. Such decisions should be taken in broad consultation with relevant stakeholders well in advance of an election. Consideration could also be given to establishing additional polling stations at the same location, where feasible, and/or providing legal authorization to increase the number of ballots to polling stations abroad.
