OSCE Commitments and Council of Europe Standards exist for procedures in the adjudication of election-related complaints and appeals.[45] Firstly, as recommended in the previous Joint Opinions,[46] the complaints and appeals procedures should be simplified and clarified, and that any inconsistencies be addressed.
