Training of presiding officers for the completion of forms and counting was seen as requiring substantial improvement. It was also noted that many procedures were not properly followed. For instance, voters’ fingers were not checked for ink; voters without certificate of registration were denied the right to vote, contrary to the regulations; the secrecy of the vote was not ensured because of inadequate placing of the polling booth; campaign material was visible in the vicinity of polling stations; family voting and intimidation were observed in or around polling stations; people queuing at 4pm were not allowed to vote; results were not displayed to the public; etc. While these aspects are marginal on the whole, they could be improved for future elections
