Election Administration Gender Audits – a toolkit
As a public authority, the election administration should be representative of the wider society. Within its structure, there should be no disparity between men and women or a preponderance of one gender at any level, including in senior positions. The EMB has the greatest responsibility for ensuring the inclusive participation of eligible voters in elections.
This toolkit is designed to be used widely for assessing the gender-responsiveness of election administrations across the 57 OSCE participating States. Conducting gender audits of EMBs is good practice for ensuring that women and men participate and benefit from the election administration and the electoral processes on equitable terms.- Date:
