The legal framework on campaign finance should be further strengthened to ensure that third-party financing and in-kind contributions do not circumvent regulations and reporting requirements. Dissuasive and proportionate sanctions should be established. The NAPC should be designated as the sole independent oversight body to monitor and investigate compliance with campaign-finance regulations and should be sufficiently mandated, empowered, and resourced.

To ensure a transparent and credible electoral process, the CEC and DECs should consider all complaints on merits, regardless of technical irregularities, and adjudicate them impartially in open sessions, making public all complaints and decisions. Courts should apply broad interpretation of the law on admissibility and adjudicate cases and draft decisions using sound and coherent reasoning. Measures could be taken to enhance consistency in court decisions.

The complaints framework should be amended to eliminate concurrent jurisdiction and provide a more simplified and coherent process, further broaden stakeholders’ rights to lodge complaints, and revoke the automatic rejection of complaints on technical grounds. If complaints are filed to the wrong institution, that institution should be obliged to forward them to the correct institution. An option to lodge complaints electronically could be introduced, and a standardized complaint form developed. The legal requirement to redact names from court judgements should be revoked.

Parliament should safeguard the public broadcaster’s editorial independence by providing it with sufficient funding and granting it full financial autonomy. Sufficient and sustainable funding would allow UA:PBC to serve as an alternative to the highly politicized and controlled private media sector.
