The Practitioners’ Network brings together election professionals and practitioners from different countries and with diverse and complementary experience and specialisation into the first ever global knowledge network established in the field of elections.

The Practitioners’ Network is also supported by a regional infrastructure of Regional Electoral Resource Centres, established in strategic geographical locations worldwide, serving as hubs for the main objectives of the project: the generation, sharing and application of electoral knowledge.

Members share common interests, common goals and common professional responsibilities and are the source for generating and sharing knowledge, global experiences and best practices. They participate in Thematic Groups according to their preferred thematic and/or geographical areas of expertise and specialisation.

Through the facilities and services provided through the Electoral Advice section, members of the Practitioners’ Network “meet,” interact, collaborate on election-related subjects and share expertise and know-how on elections. Their interaction generates election-related knowledge that is then codified, retained, shared and adapted to be applied in local contexts and re-used by other election practitioners who are confronted with the same or similar challenges with the goal of adapting them to meet local challenges in the form of expert advice, best practices, lessons learned and peer review.
