The classification in this annex is based on the legal form and institutional arrangements of each country and territory at the time of publication. It does not express any judgment of an EMB´s performance or independence of action in practice. The number of EMB members does not include substitute members where these exist. More information, including sources and comments, is available in the International IDEA Electoral Management Design database http://www.idea.int/elections/emd/electoral-management-design-database.cfm.
All the websites and social media platform links in this list were tested and operational in July 2014. While it is as comprehensive as possible, it is not guaranteed to contain all EMB websites which were functional at that date.
For governmental EMBs under the Governmental or Mixed Model of electoral management, the list shows the page of the website of the relevant ministry which gives the most clear link to electoral matters.
The list does not include websites from other public or private bodies which contain material about electoral administration.
