Our Network
We are supported by a network of over 800 expert consultants. Working with our staff and Board members, the ERIS network of experts can provide advice and assistance on all stages of the electoral and the wider democratic process.
The ERIS database includes election administrators, civil society activists, former parliamentarians and local councillors, party organisers, academics, lawyers, statisticians, logisticians, journalists and information specialists. As a point of principle we can provide experts from the global ‘South’ as well as from the ‘North’.
