The law should establish clear hierarchical appellate procedure for the adjudication of election-related complaints and appeals and an effective mechanism to appeal election results. Costs of bringing an action to court should be kept to a minimum in order not to deter citizens from filing a complaint.

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.

In order to ensure stability in the election legislation and further harmonization, efforts should be made to finalize electoral reform well in advance of next elections and to build in safeguards against changing legislation prior to an election. Consideration could also be given to further delegating regulatory authority to the CEC so that, as the principal body responsible for the implementation of the election law, it has the flexibility to promptly react to any changes in the political-security environment in order to ensure uniformity in how emergency situations are addressed.

The number of commission members appointed at each level should correspond to the actual needs of the electoral administration rather than be the result of the unpredictable number of candidate nominations received. Consideration could be given to increasing the number of DECs or providing that where a DEC has to manage a high number of PECs, it may establish operation centres at district (rayon) level. Consideration could also be given to setting a reasonable maximum number of voters per polling station.

The automatic rejection of complaints based on deficiencies in format should be removed from the election law. Election commissions should be encouraged to consider the merits of a case and take action if the issue raised in the complaint is clear from the documents submitted.

The election law should define a clear system of sanctions related to violations of its media-related provisions and indicate the competent body to address them. Furthermore, consideration should be given to reinforce the NTRBC as an independent regulatory body and to increase its capacity to oversee and fully ensure the broadcast media’s compliance with the legislation, as well as address media-related complaints and impose sanctions for possible violations during the election campaign. Decisions of the independent regulatory body should be taken in a timely manner and made public.

The law on the CEC should include ‘impartiality’ as one of the CEC’s guiding principles.[1] It should also elaborate the role of parliamentary factions in the selection of CEC members, so as to ensure balance and pluralism in the CEC’s composition.

To enhance the perception of impartiality of DECs and PECs, the law should prohibit payments from candidates to DEC and PEC members. As for the CEC, the election law should require DECs and PECs to undertake their work impartially.
