To provide sufficient safeguards for the institutional impartiality of the election administration and to avoid situations in which one political option is dominant in the decision-making processes, the mechanism of nomination and appointment of election commissions should be reviewed. An increased role in the nomination and appointment of members by non-political bodies or based on open competition could also be considered. At the same time, providing full voting rights to authorized representatives of the electoral contestants could be reconsidered.
