In preparation for future elections, the NEC should consider implementing the following practices:
i. the introduction of voter cards with the voters’ photographs.
ii. widely publicising the display period of the draft electoral register; it should be available at multiple sites within a constituency, and the process of correction should be accessible and efficient.
iii. giving all voters clear information on their individual registration details, including electoral roll serial number and allocated polling station and location. The obligation of the authorities to provide this information cannot be delegated to political parties.
iv. voters should be made fully aware of their rights and opportunities through an extensive voter education programme conducted ahead of the registration display period and election day, particularly targeting groups traditionally marginalised from the process, such as women and young people.
