Technology such as computer office automation software products can be used to assist election management bodies (EMBs) to control the registration of parties and candidates to participate in elections.
The registration of parties and candidates processes that can benefit from the use of technology include:
- party registration, including party member verification processes and party information databases
candidate nomination, including nominator verification processes and candidate information databases
providing information to parties, including voter register data and other general communications
monitoring and control of party and campaign financing, including candidate/party donations, candidate/party expenditure, public funding and audit
