As previously recommended, the problem of lack of trust in the Electoral Commission could be addressed by creating a legal basis for the transparent appointment of Commissioners. One option to consider would be to establish a joint panel of the Civil Service Commission and the Judicial Service Commission, which would draw up a list of qualified candidates, as is done with judges. Greater consensus could also be achieved by including opposition and civil society voices in the appointment process, rather than only the Presidency and Parliamentary majority. Electoral Commissioners should also enjoy security of tenure. The criteria for nomination and precise terms of reference for EC Commissioners and all other electoral officials should be set out in law.
