Elections in Sudan: Chaos Before Stability (2010)
|
In this paper, author Savo Heleta argues that in the present situation, with so many issues unresolved around the country, Sudan's complicated national elections would not lead to pluralism and democracy but rather to instability, further polarization, and post-election chaos. As currently planned, the elections would be a logistical nightmare for any country, let alone Sudan, leaving too much room for post-election manipulation of votes.

Final report on the April 2010 Sudan General Election, SuDEMOP (2010)
|
This report from the Sudan Domestic Election Monitoring And Observation Programme
(Sudemop), displays that the preparations and the actual conduct of the election were characterized by lack of transparency and coordination by the NEC.
The elections were characterised by delays in communicating information about the electoral calendar, putting forth the electoral procedures, announcement of the dates for accreditation of observers/observer groups, contracting polling officials and announcing the results. These delays attest to lack of coordination and transparency on the part of NEC.
Other factors that further attest to same, and especially during the period when the election was extended are logistical and administrative shortcomings such as distribution of insufficient polling materials to polling stations, printing and distribution of an incorrect voter register, giving incorrect information on constituency boundaries in some areas, omission and/or exchange of candidate symbols on the ballot papers in some constituencies and the inability of most election officials to understand the basic procedures of administering elections.

We changed the Laws - Electoral practice and malpractice in Sudan since 1953, African Affairs (2010)
|
This article explores the history of elections by secret ballot in Sudan since
the 1950s, and considers what lessons this history may offer in the run-up to
the national elections planned under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
The article locates the repeated use of the secret ballot in Sudan in the context
of a wider state-directed project of modernity, for which the secret ballot
offers a performative enactment of the relationship between an efficient state
and a disciplined citizenry. The article therefore focuses on the actual procedure
of elections, rather than on high politics, and it argues that despite a
formal insistence on consistent procedure, practice often deviated from the
supposed rules.
