Comparing Electoral Practices

Recognizing that a single nation will not be able to develop solutions alone, a comparative analysis is needed to assess best practices in addressing these global challenges. This comparative analysis will examine how different countries ensure free and fair elections and identify success factors in ensuring electoral integrity through public management and governance. This analysis would aim to develop shared solutions and identify how lessons learned can be implemented to strengthen national and international electoral institutions and institutional capacities. The white paper will address the following topics:

• What are the current and emerging public administration challenges in safeguarding elections?
• How can administrative institutions and public administrators at all levels of government enhance free and fair elections in the US?
• What practices should public administrators implement to increase public trust?
