A new system of polling staff selection should be considered, prioritising previous electoral experience and literacy and numeric skills. It is common in many countries for school teachers to form the bulk of polling staff. This is apparently not possible in Timor because of restrictions on public officials being polling staff. This rule could be relaxed in the case of teachers. This process should be under the direct supervision of the CNE.
