General Information

The IEAB works with organizations from across the globe that perform conformance assessments and issue certifications of electoral bodies against international standards.
The accreditation program allows certification houses and conformance assessment bodies to perform audits and issue certifications against international standards to election management bodies with the endorsement of the IEAB.

In order to perform certification assessments the next four septs must be followed: 

  1. Fill out application
