Se debería prestar más atención a la mejora de la relación entre el Registro Civil y los nuevos organismos electorales. En particular, de conformidad con el artículo 40 de la Ley Orgánica de Elecciones, el Registro Civil debería regularmente entregar a la administración electoral un listado de los ciudadanos registrados. El nuevo marco jurídico de elecciones debería incluir disposiciones y mecanismos similares para fortalecer los vínculos entre ambas instituciones.

Una vez concluido el periodo de verificación, el nuevo CNE debería realizar las correcciones necesarias y nuevamente publicar el padrón electoral a nivel cantonal o parroquial, al menos 15 días antes de la jornada electoral.

An extensive review of the voter register and the voter register exercise should be undertaken. Digital technology with photographs and any other relevant identification should be developed. More adequate safeguards should also be introduced during registration to ensure minors of other individuals that are not eligible to vote are excluded from the register. A greater period of time should also be planned for public exhibition of the register and a permanent registration process should be considered.

Overall voter registration activities should be under the exclusive control of the Election Management Body. Shared institutional responsibility between the government and the independent election body creates areas of friction and has the potential to impair the CNEs capacity to independently conduct the polls. For instance, the CNE, the supervisory body with overall responsibility for organizing elections, does not have the legal mandate to manage the critical voter registration process which falls under the responsibility of the Government. Changes to the law should be introduced to allow the CNE control of the entire cycle of production of the voters’ list alongside the introduction of a systematic and permanent yearly voters’ update as foreseen in the electoral law. The CNE and CREs should have full mandate to carry out all voter registration hence strengthening its independency and the neutrality of the register. CRE’s would need to have a permanent structure in order to allow for full electoral cycle activities.

Identification requirements for voter registration should be improved in cooperation with the implementation of a national census or civil registry. The majority of Guinean citizens do not hold an identity card or birth certificate. Registration of voters, mainly in rural areas, is generally only made possible with the use of witnesses. The AFIS project could also be considered as a tool for civil registry.

Greater efforts to ensure accuracy in registration should be made to prevent errors and multiple entries. This should include individual registration only and cessation of practices allowing members of households to register other members of their families except in cases where this is justified on health or physical grounds. An adequate mechanism for maintenance and audit of the register should also be established, taking into account available technologies.

The cater Center recommended the OEP invested in an increase absentee participation. Clearly delineate the boundaries of the voter districts. Nominated to members to the Supreme Electoral court.

The OEP must do more to ensure that Bolivian women are becoming more active member so the Bolivian political system. according to the observers in this election the female candidates were concentrated in low ranking non decision making roles. Also Bolivian Land distribution program should be suspended during the voter Registration period and last there should be greater promotion of electoral dispute reconciliation through the electoral process

Observers advise that a Voter ID be issues broadly to all citizens after the registration is completed. The voter roll must be translated in to both Arabic and English so that it can be accessible to all stakeholders. Steps should be take to ensure that registration slip cannot be purchased in mass by parties. This weakens the credibility of the overall election.

There needs to be improvements in the distribution of registered voter list as well as the voter IDs.

The decentralized voter registration structure at its current state of organization will limit the transparency and accuracy of the vote.

Many local offices were very under funded. The working conditions and the security were very poor. It is necessary for these conditions create the environment that is susceptible for voter manipulation.

South Sudan should distribute ID cards ahead of electoral exercise so that it relies less on subjectivity in the confirmation of a person's identity.

Voter rolls should be updated regularly, with a mechanism for challenging the absence of a name from a list.

EMB should conduct a comprehensive and inclusive voter registration update exercise and explain its importance.

CENI should set a firm date to enable a timely audit of voter registration data by political opposition representatives.

Efforts at modernizing the civil registry should continue. The government departments responsible must be given sufficient material resources and personnel

Develop a robust system for maintaining a comprehensive national voter register by publishing a provisional list at the community level, providing for an alternative registration method, taking steps to ensure eligible voters are not disenfranchised by a cut-off registration deadline date prior to the election, finalizing the voter list prior to election day, and carrying out voter education processes to inform the public of their opportunity to participate in the process.

Reform the civil registry and develop a permanently updated election roll
