Local and District Electoral Councils
The Electoral Councils operate at the local and district level and are activated during the federal election process. They are made up of a Chairman who is appointed by the General Council, who also serves as executive director; six Electoral Councilors, and representatives of the national political parties. The members of the Electoral Organization, the Federal Register of Voters and the Electoral Training and Civic Education of the Local Board all have a right to speak but no vote.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
