After the next elections, and well in advance of subsequent elections, the Venice Commission recommends designing a legislative framework which will ensure full respect of the right to free elections, and in particular:

-Reconsidering the rules on access to and loss of Haitian citizenship and the restrictions to the rights of double nationals;
-Establishing permanent electoral registers;
-Establishing an independent and impartial Permanent Electoral Council;
-Revising the system of complaints and appeals to make a final appeal to a court possible;
-Revising the legislation on political parties and media in conformity with international standards;
-Providing for rules on redistricting ensuring equal voting power and a regular revision of the allocation of seats;
-Examining the possibility of introducing out-of-country voting and/or e-voting on a large scale.
