Paragraph 58
 

Additional training on election procedures for election commission members, with a particular focus on counting and tabulation procedures, as well as voter education, has been a long standing recommendation of the OSCE/ODIHR. This is particularly relevant in light of the changes in the organisation of voting and counting procedures envisioned by the draft code. While Article 51.2(14) lists obligations of the CEC to publish training materials for proxies, observers, and PEC members, the law does not refer to publication of training materials for DEC members, as well as any voter education materials. It is recommended that the law specifies that the CEC elaborate and publish training materials for all categories of electoral stakeholders, in particular for DEC members and for voters.
