Election Disputes
Election dispute is the climax of the election process. The legitimacy of the election process depends in part on the objectivity and impartiality of dispute resolution mechanisms.
Civil Society
Civil society is the political “space” where citizens can debate, join groups, and mobilize for change without being threatened or intimidated. Legitimate governments can extend their legitimacy by being accountable to civil society, which is often the ultimate check on the abuse of power.
