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.

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.

As previously recommended, serious consideration should be given to adopting a unified election code. In line with international good practice, it should be adopted in an open and inclusive manner, and any changes to fundamental aspects of the election system should not take effect less than one year prior to an election. The CEC should adopt all necessary regulations to supplement the legislation.

Since a presidential election is conducted in a single nationwide constituency, the requirement to justify requests for temporary change of voting place could be waived. The procedure could be facilitated by enabling voters to submit requests electronically and allowing changes to be valid for more than one round. Submission of requests through a proxy could also be permitted for voters who are temporarily unable to move independently. Furthermore, voters registered where voting cannot take place could be permitted to submit requests at any RMB.
