Methodological guide on electoral assistance

This Methodological Guide has been designed to be used as a reference tool which can address specific needs arising at different stages of the project cycle within electoral assistance.

The guide is divided into three sections:

1) Sets out the framework within which electoral assistance is provided, lessons learned from previous experience, and the new "Electoral Cycle Approach". It also introduces cross-cutting issues and the factors to be considered when embracing technology for electoral processes.

2) Presents activities that can be implemented in support of Electoral Cycles, indicating potential benefits and risks, and also picks up on the wider, cross-cutting effects arising from these suggested activities.

3) Deals with issues relating to EC internal procedures for Programming, Identification, Formulation and Implementation and also provides operational advice relevant to the specific phases.

Finally, there are case studies to illustrate the different ways the EC is implementing its electoral assistance activities.
