States and territories that received United Nations electoral assistance (August 2023 - July 2025)

Support to creating a conducive environment

Types of Electoral Assistance

Technical Assistance

Electoral Roles Requiring a Mandate

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Support is always tailored to the specific needs of each requesting Member State. Most UN assistance is technical advice and capacity-building.

Panels of experts

Support to International Election Observers

Support to Creating a Conducive Environment

In peace operations or special political missions, as well as in non-mission settings, UN entities may use their good offices, advocacy or human rights expertise to help foster conditions for credible elections.

Technical Assistance

Technical assistance is the most common form of support, offering legal, operational, and logistical guidance to strengthen electoral laws, institutions, and processes. This assistance can be provided for a short period or span across multiple electoral cycles, depending on the needs of the country or institution.

Support to International Election Observers

Operational support or coordination of international observers - without an observation role for the UN itself.

Electoral Roles Requiring a Mandate

Organization, supervision, certification, or observation of elections. Extremely rare, requires a Security Council or General Assembly mandate.

Panels of Experts

Deployment of small expert teams or high-level panels to assess electoral processes and report to the Secretary-General or the focal point for electoral assistance.
