Essential - It would be recommendable to separate the TSE’s administrative and judicial functions.
Addressed to - Legislative Assembly.
Possible Improvements Suggested - The separation of the TSE’s administrative and judicial functions would enable greater efficiency in the organisation of electoral processes that could be under the responsibility of a professionalised and clearly executive directorate within the TSE and under the supervision of the TSE Magistrates. This would allow the magistrates to focus on taking judicial decisions, even against the TSE’s own administrative measures, as well as functions pertaining to the Court’s institutional representation. This would be, naturally more effective, within a TSE free from party interference.
