The possibility of imposing an additional penalty to the range currently available to the ECC should be considered: deduction of votes from candidates. Given that irregularities and fraud can still be expected in future elections, such a penalty could usefully act as a deterrent short of disqualification. It might be applied in cases of proxy voting, ballot stuffing, intimidation, etc.
