Electoral Cycle
|
There are many phases to the electoral process: in an election, for example, these include the design and drafting of legislation, the recruitment and training of electoral staff, electoral planning, voter registration, the registration of political parties, the nomination of parties and candidates, the electoral campaign, polling, counting, the tabulation of results, the declaration of results, the resolution of electoral disputes, reporting, auditing and archiving. After the end of one electoral process, it is desirable for work on the next to begin: the whole process can be described as the electoral cycle.

Afghanistan: Working with Counterparts 2005 ENG
|
A key priority of the JEMB Secretariat is to develop the professional capacity of Afghan JEMB and JEMBS staff; to ensure that they are best prepared to assume responsibility for future elections. Collaboration between international and Afghan colleagues should take place under the assumption that Afghan election officials will form the core of the future election administration and therefore both Afghans and internationals must take the opportunity of this election to refine the skills of our Afghan hosts. We as internationals also hope to better conduct elections in Afghanistan by learning from our Afghan counterparts.
