Protecting Elections: Mapping Electoral Challenges and Courses of Action in Mauritius 

International IDEA and the Office of the Election Commission of Mauritius (OEC) recently organized a Protecting Elections Workshop in Port Louis, bringing together various national organizations with the mandate to organize or support elections to jointly map challenges to electoral integrity and identify courses of action.
The workshop was organized as part of the pilot phase of International IDEA’s Protecting Elections project. The project, funded by the government of Canada, aims to develop an integrated framework that adopts a holistic approach to protecting elections. This approach promotes risk management, resilience building, and crisis management practices in electoral management aiming to strengthen the capacity of electoral stakeholders to safeguard electoral integrity in their specific contexts.
The Protecting Elections Workshop organized in Port Luis was the first in a series of such events marking an important milestone in the project’s implementation.
