The iEIP 2023 Conference in Review

The Electoral Integrity Project held it’s third international online conference in July 2023.

Around 500 participants joining from over 60 countries this year. There was an action packed agenda of 14 panels across the week. The workshop brought the EIP into it’s 12th year of conferneces.

The workshop comes at an important moment in time. There have been widespread concerns about democratic backsliding and a more uncertain international environment. In this age it is more important than ever, that academics, civil society groups, practitioners and the international community come together to monitor the quality of elections and identify solutions for improving elections.

The workshop began with an update about the latest trajectory in election quality around the world by drawing from the latest Global Electoral Integrity Report and dataset.

The opening panel (below) then focused how practitioners and academics can work together in a panel convened by ACE and chaired by IFES’s Cassandra Emmons.

The conference also featured panels on commitments for the Summit for Democracy and the use of technology in elections.

All of the recordings from the week’s workshops are now available on the conference webpage for review and re-watching.
