LESSONS ON THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ELECTIONS
Election Case Law Analysis Series
With support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in 2021, the International
Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) launched ElectionJudgments.org, a curated global database that makes
judicial decisions on election cases of all types more transparent and accessible. It is a resource for judges, election
professionals, policymakers, and researchers who are working to resolve disputes and prevent violations to promote
more credible elections around the world.
To facilitate the exchange of sound precedents across jurisdictions, IFES has used this database to conduct an initial
analysis of critical judgments on a variety of topics, presented in an Election Case Law Analysis Series, which has
been developed thanks to the support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). This
paper is the third in this series, focused on the resolution of electoral disputes that concern the use of election
technology. Prior issues in the series are below:
Issue 1: Lessons on Gender Equality and Women’s Political Participation
Issue 2: Lessons for Regulating Campaigning on Social Media
The ElectionJudgments.org database is updated on a periodic basis. To contribute judgments or resources, please
