ECES participated to the official launch in Johannesbourg of the guidelines concerning the role of social media and artificial intelligence in electoral processes titled “Principles and Guidelines for the Use of Digital and Social Media in Elections in Africa”.
The guidelines have been produced by Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) in collaboration with the Association of African Electoral Authorithies and to which ECES has also contributed.
