Election Observation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Election Observation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Facilitator - Sara Staino , November 15. 2006

 

Original question:

I am attending The University of Cape Town, and I am looking for some information. I was told you may have some information regarding elections in Africa.

My research project needs data for all Sub-Saharan African countries with regards to whether their elections are free and fair, from 1994 to the present.

If you do not have this information, do you have an idea as to where I can find it?

 

ACE Network Facilitator's response:

Thank you for your inquiry. There are several resources which you might like to explore and which should help you with your project.

  • electoral observationThe ACE Electoral Knowledge Network. Click on ‘Regions and Countries’ and then ‘Africa’. Then select each country individually and look in the top right hand box ‘links to organizations’. Some countries here have links to EU Electoral Observations Mission reports which will comment on the freedom and fairness of the election in question.
  • Election reports by The Commonwealth Secretariat
  • IFES posts reports from their missions in the region on their website.
  • The website of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) may also have some useful information. Under the ‘NDI worldwide’ choose the region of Africa and then the particular country.
  • Check the UN website for early reports on Mozambique ONUMOZ 1994.
