Workshop: Training in voters' roll testing methodologies

A collaboration between EISA and the Mozambican Electoral Observatory (a coalition of eight Mozambican civil society organisations).

12 March 2008, Mozambique

EISA will be working in collaboration with the Mozambican Electoral Observatory (a coalition of eight Mozambican civil society organisations) to conduct a workshop on 12 March 2008. Approximately 30 trainers will be trained in voters' roll testing methodologies.

The trainers will prepare a number of teams of observers to carry out the first ever voters' roll test conducted by civil society in Mozambique. The teams will be deployed in each of Mozambique's ten provinces. As a pilot exercise, the test will use list-to-people methodology. It will implemented in 33 municipalities ahead of the municipal elections expected to take place later this year.

In 2009 a more comprehensive, nationwide test will be carried out before the general election.
