This section of the Cost of Registration and Elections (CORE) Project contains the main findings and conclusions drawn from case studies on electoral costs in 10 countries.  The countries were selected as illustrative of election management within different democracy environments—from stable to transitional to post-conflict, because they were also examined in a previous UNDP study published in 2000 and other countries, meanwhile, were added based on geographic location and size of the electorate.
