The most recent OSCE/ODIHR election observation reports, as well as European Commission Progress reports, stress the need of strengthening the SEC and its ability to manage and administer elections in line with international standards. In addition, the last OSCE/ODIHR report recommends that, in order to ensure transparency and accountability in the election process, the SEC could consider to publicly tabulate results, as well as to regulate tabulation procedures for Municipal Election Commissions (MECs). In light of this, and following consultation with the SEC, the Mission aims to strengthen the knowledge and professional capacities of the SEC members and staff through continued support. In particular, the Mission organised a two-day workshop on the Introduction of New Technology in the Electoral Process for SEC members, service staff and representatives of MECs. Furthermore, the Mission plans to continue supporting the development of the SEC throughout 2017 and in 2018 to consolidate the current efforts. The Mission will recruit an international Electoral IT Expert who will assess the potential cost of electoral management software. Objective: Deliverables: |
