The Congress launched a new Practical Guide, entitled “Administrative resources and fair elections”, for local and regional politicians and public officials. This booklet is based on the Checklist for compliance with international standards and good practices preventing misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes at local and regional level, adopted in 2017. It aims at giving a practical understanding of the phenomenon and contains the Checklist but also a number of practice examples that were reported to the Congress observers during electoral missions.
Stewart DICKSON (United Kingdom, ILDG), Congress Thematic Spokesperson on the observation of local and regional elections and Member of the Council for Democratic Elections, presented this Practical Guide on the occasion of the Parliamentary Seminar on the misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes, held in Tirana, on 10 April 2018.
