post-conflict elections

Post-conflict elections are elections held after a period of civil war, violence, or political upheaval to help restore peace and legitimacy. They aim to provide citizens with a peaceful way to choose their leaders and hold governments accountable. These elections often involve special arrangements to ensure fairness, security, and participation amid fragile peace. They can also serve as a foundation for rebuilding trust, integrating diverse groups, and establishing stable governance. While challenging due to lingering tensions and logistics, successful post-conflict elections are crucial steps toward long-term peace and development.
