Name new impartial, independent leaders of the CEP in accordance with Article 289 of the Constitution.

Name new Departmental leaders for the CEP as the current leadership has participated in previous manipulation and needs to be replaced.

Create the position of Executive Director responsible for the technical aspects and management of elections.

Refocus international assistance from election administration to capacity building in an effort to put in place a more permanent electoral infrastructure.

MINUSTAH must have accountability as well. Benchmarks should be put in place for their capacity building efforts.

Recommendation 2. Develop a Security Plan.

The CNDDR must be dissolved in order to truly get guns off the streets.

MINUSTAH should be subject to benchmarks for police capacity building as well as for election security.

MINUSTAH should provide special training for the unique challenges of securing polling stations.

There must be a plan to disarm the gangs.
