The International Electoral Awards is an award scheme made exclusively for electoral stakeholders, in recognition of their work and acknowledgement of their significant contribution to the democratic process beyond the community of electoral professionals, practitioners and experts.
The event was organized by the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies(ICPS).
As part of their mandate to promote effective policy making and good governance through better interactions between parliaments, governments and other stakeholders in society to empower human capital through capacity building, the ICPS prior to the awards night held a series of workshops.
The chairman of ICPS and International Centre for Electoral Psychology (ICEP) Matt Gokhool expressed his gratitude by saying "We are pleased to be working with the Electoral Commission of Ghana as well as Ghana Center for Democratic Development this year and grateful for the support in co-hosting you all in Accra".
