Electoral Assistance Division of the UN

The Electoral Assistance Division (EAD) of the UN supports countries in organizing free, fair, and credible elections. It provides technical expertise, advice, and resources to help strengthen electoral processes, promote democratic practices, and ensure voters' rights are protected. The division works with national governments, regional organizations, and other partners to improve election management, transparency, and inclusivity, especially in post-conflict or fragile contexts. Its goal is to help countries conduct elections that are legitimate and bolster democratic governance globally.
