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.
Civic Education
Civic education deals with broader concepts underpinning a democratic society such as the respective roles and responsibilities of citizens, government, political and special interests, the mass media, and the business and non-profit sectors, as well as the significance of periodic and competitive elections.
