More transparent alternatives to the post-election selection of candidates by political parties in the proportional representation system should be considered to guarantee the implementation of the targets set for minimum representation levels in elected bodies. This should include measures to ensure a closer link between candidates and voters such as ranked lists. The law should be amended so that candidates can only run in one constituency in any one election in order to avoid by-elections. The powers of the political parties in respect to elected members of the Constituent Assembly should also be reduced to enable members who resign or are expelled from these parties to retain their seats.
