The Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend that training of the LEC and PB members be reinforced, particularly during electoral periods, in order to allow the PB members, and particularly those of extended composition, to adequately fulfil their duties. All members of polling boards, including the extended ones, should receive timely, efficient, and uniform training on election-day procedures, and it could be considered that training or refresher courses are mandatory for all appointed PB members. Practical exercises, particularly related to the secrecy of the vote, order of the counting procedures and completion of the results protocols, could be considered.
