electoral commissions
Election management bodies
Electoral commissions are independent bodies that administer elections—overseeing voter registration, managing polling places, counting ballots, and certifying results.
Most democracies establish them to ensure fair elections free from partisan interference.
Their structure and authority vary: some have broad enforcement powers, others primarily coordinate logistics.
