Democracy is in decline around the world. Governments elected to power with populist agendas are increasingly adopting authoritarian tactics. There are striking similarities in the methods deployed to subvert democracy. These methods typically include compromising electoral integrity, undermining judicial independence, and quashing free expression and dissent. The Stanford Law School Rule of Law Impact Lab studies and uses legal tools to counter core threats to democracy and to promote democratic renewal worldwide.

You could simply have passing an exam/test as a requirement to be a candidate in the election, in fact I’d say most influential positions would need that. For example, it should be required for the general secretary of a communist party to have good knowledge of theory, to ensure that we could have the candidates pass an exam.
That’s more or less what I meant. I’m not so sure about what you said of requiring attestation for general secretary, mostly because of what the curriculum for that would be and who would be in charge of defining said curriculum. Admittedly, though, I haven’t given this topic much thought
