According to new transitional provisions in the proposed amendments, for the next local elections, the CEC is authorised to use electronic means to carry out voter registration at polling stations, voting, counting of votes, and drawing up a summary protocol of the results. While use of electronic means may ease the process and reduce risks of human error or intentional violation, there are inherent complexities and risks with electronic voting and counting, and the electorate and political forces can be leery of electronic voting. As such, it is common practice for states to introduce new voting technologies on a pilot basis. In addition, the legal framework should properly regulate the use of any new voting technologies in the electoral process. However, the draft law does not provide any regulation on the use of electronic means to carry out the aforementioned processes and only provides that the rules and conditions for the use of electronic means are to be determined by CEC resolution. It is recommended that the draft amendments establish a regulatory framework for the use of new voting technologies in the next local elections taking into account international good practice as noted below.
