Principle 2: Thorough Investigation vestigation.243 As previously discussed, investigators have the responsibility to record the preliminary assessment, to document any interviews they conduct, and to detail their investigative findings in a final report. Any other stages of the investigation should be similarly well-documented. For example, in Liberia, the Hearing Procedure clearly states that “all proceedings before the National Election Commission shall be documented.”244 The Clerk of the Hearing Office/Magistrate is specifically designated as being responsible for keeping records. In Indonesia, the EMB regulations governing the investigation of certain electoral violations mandate formal reporting requirements at every step of the investigative process.245 To satisfy this requirement, the legislation provides standardized forms for the submission of complaints, specifying different forms for different categories of complaints,246 and requires that the receiving officer logs all complaints in a registry book.247 After the complaint is categorized, officials must then complete a specific accompanying form every time that the complaint proceeds to a different level of investigation and review.248 These legal requirements ensure a uniform paper trail that chronicles each phase of the investigation, from the initial receipt of the complaint to its resolution. In Bhutan, the Election Dispute Settlement Rules and Regulations likewise provide forms that facilitate the recording of every step in the dispute resolution process.249 The regulations first provide a form for the submission of complaints.250 Prior to the initiation of an investigation, the Legal Unit of the Central Election Dispute Settlement Body (CEDSB) uses another form to maintain a case register.251 At the conclusion of the investigation, the investi243 See Id. ¶ 35(“Investigative Activity . . . should be documented in writing . . . .”). 244 Liberia, National Election Commission, Hearing Procedure ¶ 7.3. 245 See Bawaslu Regulation No. 14/2012, supra note 173, art. 15(1). 246 Compare id. art. 4 (specifying the types of forms to be used when the Election Supervisor submits a complaint of a suspected violation) with id. art. 9 (specifying the types of forms to be used for all other complaints, including those submitted by election observers, participants, or any other Indonesian citizen). 247 Id. art. 9(6). 248 See generally id. ch.
