The last two election cycles were marred by manipulation and corruption. In the 2022 cycle, only 21 out of 329 seats in the bicameral houses were contested by more than two candidates (the bride and the groom). The problem was not because of how the procedures were framed but the structures of the committees. Here, the CES proposes options to establish electoral committees named through a non-biased process.
