Final report on the April 2010 Sudan General Election, SuDEMOP (2010)	This report from the Sudan Domestic Election Monitoring And Observation Programme (Sudemop), displays that the preparations and the actual conduct of the election were characterized by lack of transparency and coordination by the NEC.
