REVIEW OF THE COMMONWEALTH
ELECTORAL NETWORK
Kate Sullivan
June 2016
THE REVIEW
Examination of CEN documents and materials
Interviews with selected EMB leaders
Interviews with and information from Commonwealth Secretariat staff
Interviews with international organisations and other networks
Survey of CEN members
CEN VISION AND PURPOSE
Still relevant and comprehensive
Could be adjusted to reflect deeper CEN role in the identification and documentation
of good practice
ACTIVITIES
Conference
is appreciated but not well assessed as to relevance in terms of vision
and purpose: need to reflect on this for 2016
Working Groups
are innovative and useful: see results this week in the later sessions
Online workspace
(hosted on Huddle) has potential but requires both attention from
the Secretariat and more engagement from members
Professional development
should be expanded from JEP to include other ‘classes’ of
electoral professionals
GOVERNANCE
Found a lack of clarity on
ownership and direction
of CEN activities between the
Steering Committee and Commonwealth Secretariat
Recommended a series of
changes to the governance structure
to reflect the reality
of resources and management
Found strong need for more
core resource
to maintain the network between
conferences
Not
recommend membership
fees
at this stage
