Election legislation, including the Constitution, should be reviewed in a consultative, participatory manner, for example through an all-party constitutional review committee. A unified election law should be produced and other texts relevant to elections should be amended as required (such as the penal code). Amendments should be made to the unfettered discretion currently enjoyed by state authorities in regards to various parts of the election process. Specific issues to be addressed include the independence and transparency of the election administration, complaints and appeals procedures, candidacy requirements and the legal circumscription of the power of the courts. The mandate and functioning of the caretaker government could also be more precisely defined for clarity on institutional responsibilities.
