The above areas should be addressed in detail in a text that is understandable to the general reader. This is particularly important where the introduction of new voting technologies is likely to introduce legal challenges before and during elections. It should be emphasised that while the introduction of new voting technologies has its advantages, it risks undermining public trust in the electoral process and results, especially in politically sensitive environments. In light of the widespread allegations of electoral fraud during the 2020 parliamentary elections and the very high number of complaints and appeals lodged, most challenging the accuracy of the counting and summary protocols of results, it is strongly advisable that the electoral legislation adequately cover the above-noted issues. Certainly a shift from paper-based to electronic voting and counting should not be considered a panacea to the problems that occurred during the 2020 parliamentary elections.
