To monitor electoral violence during the 2017 parliamentary election, Belun’s Early Warning Early Response (EWER) system or AtReS collected data before, during and after the election. This was followed by compilation, data analysis and report writing wherein recommendations were identified for submission to the government, particularly to the National Election Commission or Comisso Nacional de Eles, Election Administration Technical Secretariate and other relevant institutions including the national parliament, the Ministry of State Administration and the office of the Ombudsman for improvement of future elections.
Based on Belun’s analysis of monitoring results, the number of electoral violence incidents registered was 52 during the consolidation, campaign and election period, most of which were categorized as not too serious, but continually asks that the relevant institutions and political parties follow up on the recommendations that have been presented in this report.
