This ties in with the finding of the legal review that it would be beneficial to develop binding guidelines for local electoral commissions, patterned after best regional or global practices, to enumerate all documents that would have to be published (such as primary and secondary legislation, decisions, activity calendars, electoral lists, summaries of meeting transcripts, election results and the like) and the time limits for doing so, and in particular emphasizing the need for regular publication of objections filed and rulings made in response to them. 3.2.5.
