The application process for casting of a postal ballot should be clarified and simplified so that voters are clear on their eligibility and the procedure involved. Time should be allowed for an appeal to any rejected application for postal voting. There should be a time limit on the implementation of postal polling, so that there can be a stronger observation presence by agents and observers. Those administering the postal voting in their places of work should receive more adequate training and should also be more subject to monitoring from the local election administration. Records should be kept at a district and central level of all applications, rejections, appeals and the turnout in the postal voting process.
