Election Observation
Observing the electoral process is an important integrity safeguard. It is one of the checks-and-balances that protect the viability and honesty of election administration, as well as the participation of political parties, candidates and interest groups.
Election Law
Election law includes specific issues related to legal and administrative regulations which can be seen as fundamental for any election which aspires to be undertaken in a free and fair way.
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.
