Good Electoral Practice

The legitimacy of a government is built on the foundation of a credible electoral process. Commonwealth election management bodies face numerous challenges in carrying out their role. These range from managing an accurate and reliable voter register, to delivering a timely and transparent counting and tabulation process. The Commonwealth Electoral Network aims to offer practical support to Commonwealth national EMBs.

A number of working groups have been established to discuss and draw best practice examples on key topics such as voter registration, electoral education, results processes and relations with stakeholders.

Information on these topics will be posted to this page as soon as it is available.

Network members also have access to an online space where they can pose questions, share and discuss recent articles, or just browse conversations between their peers. If you have not received a password for the forum, please contact the Network Focal Point in your EMB. If you are unsure of your Network Focal Point, please email electoral.network@commonwealth.int
