The Elections Law should be amended and the SCER should adopt regulations to establish a clear framework for the tabulation and publication of results at every stage so as to ensure that all results are published speedily, completely and accurately. In particular:
i. Greater steps should be taken to ensure that copies of the results from every polling station are displayed at polling centres immediately following the count.
ii. Main District Committees should publish copies of the results protocols from polling centres and individual polling stations immediately as they are submitted. MDCs should also immediately publish the protocol of their tabulated results.
iii. Partial and preliminary results should be published by the SCER and Supervisory Committees as soon as they are available.
iv. When publishing partial, preliminary or final results, the SCER should publish all available data, including results for all candidates, the number of voters who voted and the number of invalid ballots.
v. The Electoral Law should be amended to detail exactly what information should be published.
vi. When publishing preliminary or final results, the results should be broken down by governorate, district, polling centre and polling station.
vii. If publishing partial results, the SCER should clearly identify them as such and provide explanations for any changes when publishing later results.
