While the proposed amendments offer some positive features, they also contain provisions which deviate from international standards and raise possible questions of constitutionality. Further, some gaps and ambiguities in the proposed provisions risk undermining legal certainty and the coherence of the applicable legal framework. It is necessary to bring the draft amendments further in line with international standards, to respond to the shortcomings exposed at earlier elections, and to establish a comprehensive, coherent and inclusive legal mechanism which preserves the independence and objectivity of key election-related decisions. In the end, sufficient inclusivity, transparency and accountability for any decisions not to hold elections/voting in certain territories will serve to reinforce public confidence in the electoral process and results, a key component to any democratic election process.
