Project: Timor-Leste Parliament Election 2012
Product: Polling, counting and complaints training manuals
Language: Tetum
In every election voter and civic education are key factors to ensure that all voters understand their rights and responsibilities, the electoral system, how and where to vote. For an election to be successful and democratic, voters need to be sufficiently informed in order to cast ballots that are valid and to participate meaningfully in the voting process.
In support of the Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration (STAE) and the National Electoral Commission (CNE), a cohesive branding was created and applied to all electoral materials. Training manuals were designed and illustrated to provide step-by-step instructions to electoral polling and counting staff. In addition, a complaints manual was designed with a complete set of forms and step-by-step instructions.
