The law should establish clear grounds and procedures for the invalidation of results based on objective criteria and limited to cases of serious offences affecting election results, or circumstances making it impossible to establish the will of the voters. Provisions establishing arbitrary percentages of acceptable levels of fraud should be removed.

Consideration could be given to simplifying closing, counting and reconciliation procedures. Computer facilitated protocol preparation could be introduced, thereby reducing the number of returned protocols, while consideration may be given to creating a protected electronic results tabulation system. Consideration could also be given to using sturdier, tamper-evident plastic packages in order to reduce the cases of tampering with the election material packs. The CEC should be legally mandated to ensure timely publication of preliminary polling station level results for each region, in line with international standards.

Consideration could be given to clarifying and potentially simplifying the reconciliation procedures and control checks before the actual vote count. Training of PEC members should put more emphasis on the counting procedures and the completion of the results protocols. Furthermore, some entries on the results protocols could be rephrased in order to make them more understandable.

The CEC should consider a back-up system to ensure that any problems with the Vybory system do not impede communications with DECs and should also take steps to enhance the system’s security.

DECs should be provided with premises which are adequate not only for the DECs’ work before election day, but also as an operations/results processing centre on election night. Consideration could be given to tasking local authorities with providing such (additional) premises.

Serious consideration should be given to introducing measures, which would increase the transparency of results data entry at DEC level. If access to data entry premises remains restricted, consideration should be given to providing observers and other stakeholders with the opportunity to observe data entry through means of multimedia tools such as large monitors, which would allow them to compare the data entered into the Vybory system against figures included in PEC results protocols and those posted on the CEC website.

Consideration should be given to rearranging practical aspects of the counting and tabulation processes, so as to facilitate the receipt and processing of election materials on election night. For instance, paper packages for election materials used by PECs could be replaced with sturdier packages to avoid damage during transportation and thus unnecessary consequences at DECs.
