Supporting Structures
The CNE is supported in the execution of its functions by Provincial Commissions and Municipal Offices which have nine members each and the Communal Electoral Offices where required (Electoral Law 2004 A157, 158, 160).

The CNE is composed of (CNE 2007):

Funding:
The electoral law makes no provision for the financing of elections, and the method of funding the CNE and its activities is unclear.
Conflict resolution
All decisions of the CNE on challenges to voting irregularities and counting tabulations are heard by the Constitutional Court, but must be filed within 48 hours of notification of the decision of the CNE (Electoral Law 2004 A164-168).
