The EU EOM recommends that the CSE cease to rely on figures not provided-for by law, such as the voting centre coordinators, and the ‘route managers’ (técnicos de ruta), to whom the CSE assigned crucial functions during the voting, counting and transmission of results forms. These functions could not be audited by opposition parties, whose members were not considered for selection for these posts. The mission considers that where tasks relating to the civil register or election administration require technical support, this should be provided-for by regulation, in such a way that the posts be clearly described, selections subject to the same pluralist criteria as for any other member of the election administration, and their work subject to auditing by political parties.
