The Council of Europe’s Venice Commission has published conclusions to an online international conference it held last week on electoral management, addressing electoral law and electoral administration in Europe.
Conference participants focused on two main issues:
- Holding elections during emergency situations: Challenges met, and solutions found by electoral management bodies during the COVID19 pandemic;
- Recurrent challenges and best practices in electoral law and election administration in Europe discovered during electoral campaigns, voting operations, counting, tabulation and transmission of election results.
