Context

Threats to electoral processes are accelerating beyond what electoral management bodies (EMBs) and other implicated agencies can withstand. These threats are both natural and man-made; they are external to electoral processes, such as the pandemic, terrorism or severe weather; or specific to the elections and their results, such as the deliberate undermining of democratic processes, whether through disinformation, illicit funding or cyber-security attacks.

Inspired by its work on electoral risk management, democracy resilience and conduct of elections during the Covid-19 crisis, the Institute has devised an integrative framework that promotes the systematic application of risk management, resilience-building and crisis management methods to protect elections. While these concepts are indispensable in many sectors that face high risks, the original research conducted by International IDEA confirms that they remain mostly underutilized in the field of democracy and electoral assistance.

As part of the three-year project, the Institute will work to develop an Integrated Framework for Protecting Elections. This conceptual and programming framework will combine knowledge resources, training curriculums and assessment and analysis tools to unlock synergies between different remedies for protecting electoral integrity. The coherence of such an approach can enable electoral management and electoral assistance to more effectively respond, learn and align with broader initiatives to protect democracy.

The Associate Programme Officer will join and support the Electoral Processes team in implementing project activities relating to research, development of various resources and conduct of tests and pilots in several countries worldwide.
