Even though a different system of formation by itself cannot be the automatic solution to the high polarisation that permeates all levels of the election administration in Albania, it might be helpful to revise the current composition and possibly involve other institutions that enjoy a certain degree of trust among the citizens of Albania, on the condition that broad consensus can be reached. Although the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters suggests that representatives of parties should be included in electoral bodies, this does not necessarily imply that the majority of electoral bodies be composed on the basis of nominations by political parties. Several options may be considered to reduce political polarisation, including increasing the number of nominating bodies, inviting different public institutions to nominate representatives, including a member of the judiciary or independent members from the civil society (e.g. nominated by universities). This could improve the efficiency of the election administration and help reaching consensus.¹
