Reserved seats for women should be retained, until women can access the political systems on an equal footing with men. Quotas, at the present level or higher, should be applied to all levels of elected government. However, the provisions of the Electoral Law should be amended to comply more closely with the Constitution. Currently, the Electoral Law contains a provision, which does not clarify whether or not female candidates can gain more than the minimum number of seats reserved for them.
