Mixed Model electoral management encompasses a variety of structures, internal relationships and attributes. Apart from the characteristics noted in Table 1, it is difficult to codify their essential and possible attributes. The relationship between the component EMBs in a Mixed Model is significant in determining its attributes and methods of operation. Effective legal frameworks for Mixed Model electoral management clearly specify the division of powers and functions between the component policy, monitoring or supervisory EMB(s) and the component implementing EMB(s) and their interactions. Table 4 shows some examples of attributes of component EMBs under Mixed Model electoral management.
