James, Leontine Loeber, Holly Ann Garnett and Carolien van Ham find that organisational independence matters for well-run elections, and that election management could be improved with more resources, improved working conditions for election employees – and a better gender balance in electoral management bodies

It consists of two parts: a structural survey filled out by one senior EMB official in each EMB surveyed, and a personnel survey sent to EMB employees. The EMS initially focused on Europe, while a sister survey implemented by the Electoral Integrity Project, ELECT, was disseminated to non-European countries (Norris et al., 2016). In the first half of 2017, the countries that had not responded to either the EMS or the ELECT survey were contacted again. Effort was made to contact all bodies that perform any of the major functions of EMBs, as defined by the International IDEA Handbook on Electoral Management Design (Wall et al., 2006). In total, 177 countries that held elections between 2012 and 2017, and that were not micro-states (population 100,000), were identified. EMB contact information was missing for 21 countries. A total of 156 countries were contacted, and 72 countries responded to either...

Since 2000, more and more countries have held experiments with different types of e-voting. A growing body of research has emerged on this topic. However, not much attention so far has been given to the actual choices that legislators have to make when considering the introduction of e-voting. By sketching these issues, this paper aims to help to improve future discussions on this topic by ensuring that all relevant questions are being considered.

Persistent problems of electoral integrity in transitional and established democracies have prompted a burgeoning literature seeking to explain the determinants of electoral integrity around the world. However, the study of the organisations responsible for managing the electoral process has been limited to isolated national case studies. This article opens up an interdisciplinary and international research agenda on the global study of the organisational determinants of electoral integrity. It defines the concept of electoral management and provides a framework to understand how electoral management body (EMB) institutional design, EMB performance and electoral integrity are related. Findings from new data derived from cross-national surveys of EMBs are described, providing new insights into how elections are managed worldwide.

Despite this, there have been no cross-national studies on the staff who manage and implement elections: electoral management body (EMB) workforces. This article provides the first macroscopic worldwide picture of workforce characteristics, human resource management practices and employee outcomes, and analyses the effects they have on electoral integrity, based on original international surveys of electoral management bodies (EMBs) ( n = 51) and electoral officials ( n = 2029). Drawing from the human resource management literature, a framework is developed to explain how these factors might interact with EMB performance. Analysis demonstrates them to be highly related. Adding data on human resource management practices and employee outcomes improves explanatory models designed to predict the performance of EMBs. Chiefly, EMBs that enable greater opportunities for employees to be involved in ...

When the trustworthiness of the techniques and methods that are used during the elections become subject of debate, this can have a negative impact on the confidence of voters. Previous research has shown that the level of trust in the election process in the Netherlands is not determined by a „winner-loser‟ effect and that demographic variables only have a weak influence. This study shows that the level of political trust however is an explanatory factor for trust in the election process. Also, all three components of political trust; trust in politicians, trust in institutions and trust in democracy, are of significant influence on the trust in the election process. Finally, social trust does not have a significant influence on the trust in the election process during the 2010 parliamentary elections.

The current edition represents the Second International Joint Conference on Electronic Voting (E-Vote-ID), after
merging EVOTE and Vote-ID.
Together with last years' conference more than 800 experts from over 35 countries over the last thirteen years have attended the conference series. With this, the conference continues as one of the major events in the eld of electronic voting providing ample room for interdisciplinary and open discussion of all issues relating to electronic voting.
Also this year, the conference consists of:
Security, Usability and Technical Issues Track;
Administrative, Legal, Political and Social Issues Track; and
Election and Practical Experiences Track; as well as
PhD Colloquium on the day before the conference.
This publication compiles the 25 papers accepted in the conference to be presented in their speci c tracks, three invited papers for keynote speakers and the 9 PhD presentations to be discussed in the PhD colloquium. The selected papers cover a wide range of topics connected
with Electronic Voting including experiences and revisions of the real uses of E-voting systems and corresponding processes in elections.
