After providing a brief history of the creation of LEAD-Q and its foundation, he expounded the LEAD-Q models to the audience, introducing its originality in prescribing a set of rules, routines and procedures developed to address common weaknesses within electoral administrations targeting a quality management in their electoral processes.
