"It is essential that in terms of the composition or body, that there is appropriate national minority representation. This would apply to all of the approaches detailed above, although it would be hard to achieve if the electoral body is located within a government ministry. Notwithstanding this, if the body should be located within a government ministry, then there should be sufficient representation and transparency to ensure that national minorities not only play a role in the making and transparency to ensure that national minorities not only play a role in the making of decisions, but that all decisions and the reason therefore should be made public. This participation of minorities, where appropriate, in the composition of the commission at a senior level should be replicated to ensure that there is minority participation and representation at every level of the electoral administration, form national to local. In communities where individual and voters will interact with representatives of the electorate administration it is particularly important for minority groups to be represented and included in the administration. In addition, the principles of transparency and impartiality are important in allaying the fears and concerns of minorities."
