2026 ELECTION CYCLE

Tracking

EDR Cases

A nationwide data-driven initiative analysing how electoral complaints and petitions are handled by ECZ and the courts.

WHY IT MATTERS

This work is essential to building informed public confidence in electoral justice, by clarifying how the rules are applied in practice and where they may be falling short.
