Reforming electoral systems is no easy feat, and therefore must be devised and implemented only after a well-structured and properly thought-through analysis of the current system – what is the current state of play, what are the political challenges, the advantages and the disadvantages of the current electoral system, and what options exist. This report explores all such topics in the context of the need for an electoral reform in Kosovo, as demanded by civil society at large and called by for the European Union, and as visible by shortcomings in the process in place. The present report finds that the Kosovar democratic institutions need some technical refurbishment and the legal framework some amendments to enhance the country’s democracy and combat regular undemocratic practices left unsanctioned. Starting from a comparative study of electoral systems elsewhere in Europe, to an in-depth Kosovo case study on its ruling electoral system, this comprehensive report caps off by offering recommendations in light of the research conducted, and taking into account the findings already proposed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and civil society at large.
