The current draft ROPA amendments...

not be left to one group or self-declared experts and/or advisors. (This is why I am careful to not declare myself as having more expertise than I currently do.)

3. No political interest should dominate the decision-making process. Domination of one group’s interests over another has landed us in the political pickle we are in.

4. We must consider the consequences of reforms. For example, the current draft ROPA amendments are heavy on punishments for the Chief Elections Officer and other electoral management body staff. How will this impact the hiring of quality staff and general administration of elections in the future? Good luck to us dealing with ourselves

Sincerely, Sara Bharrat
