Our work
EISA's programme areas include balloting & electoral services; conflict management, democracy & electoral education; governance and elections & political processes.
Our regional work has led to the establishment of field offices.
Various research projects, mailing lists, publications, a specialist library and an African election calendar provide information and resources.
The organisation also makes available a unique repository of encyclopeadic information about politics and elections in SADC and beyond.
