This case study examines Sweden’s comprehensive approach to enhancing election protection over the past eight years. In response to the rise of foreign interference and the proliferation of disinformation targeting the credibility of elections, Sweden has developed a collaborative framework to assess and prevent electoral risks, build resilience against stress and shocks, and establish efficient crisis response and recovery mechanisms to ensure the integrity of its electoral processes. The case study details the establishment of election protection networks at national, regional and local levels. It further highlights how agencies and stakeholders have proactively assessed and mitigated risks, including disinformation, cyberattacks and physical threats.
The Integrity of Elections
The first of its kind, this book examines the mandates of and initiatives on electoral processes including election observation, electoral technical assistance, and gender mainstreaming of six regional organizations: the African Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the European Union, the League of Arab States, the Organization of American States, and the Pacific Islands Forum. This publication captures the experiences of each organization, including the regional context, achievements, limitations, challenges, and prospects. This is a policy-oriented collection, and each chapter provides thought-provoking recommendations for both policymakers and practitioners."
Electoral Management Design
Building trust and professionalism in the management of electoral processes remains a major challenge for Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs), institutions and/or bodies responsible for managing elections. The 'credibility gap' - the diminished public confidence in the integrity and diligence for many electoral institutions and their activities - is a common problem for EMBs around the world. Many EMBs face basic design questions as they seek to work better: how should EMBs be structured to ensure that they can act independently? How do EMBs relate to stakeholders such as the media, political parties and donors? How can EMBs evaluate their performance and use experience to build sustainable elections? "The Electoral Management Design Handbook" is written for electoral administrators, electoral administration designers and other practitioners involved in building professional, sustainable and cost-effective electoral administrations which can deliver legitimate and credible free and fair elections. It is a comparative study that shares best practices and know-how from around the world on financing, structuring and evaluation of Electoral Management Bodies
