The publication of the preliminary results should be regulated by detailed and transparent rules. The CSE should be obliged by law to publish the preliminary results in their entirety, including the complete polling station breakdown, thus removing the possibility of the CSE deciding arbitrarily how many and which part of the results to be made public. Crucial statistics on voter turnout, number of valid and invalid votes, and the number of polling stations challenged and annulled should also be made public in the publication of preliminary results.
