To ensure the functioning of election commissions and avoid deadlock, further steps could be taken to improve the balance between efficiency and secure decision-making by considering one or both of the following changes:
1. Lowering the overall majority requirements (for example by keeping the quorum, but only requiring a simple majority of those present and voting) and make this the rule valid even during election time;
2. Making a distinction between important issues which need a quorum and decisions necessary for day-to-day business where a simple majority suffices.
