The Carter Center remains deeply concerned about the serious under-representation of women in
senior election administration positions as candidates and representatives, as well as the lack of an
effective quota to achieve female representation. The Carter Center urges stakeholders, including the
Constitutional Drafting Committee, to take definitive steps to improve women’s participation and
representation. This could include introducing a minimum 30 percent quota to ensure effective
representation of women in both houses of the legislature
