Before you start planning for the election, you should ensure that you have carried out a review of the last equivalent or similar polls. Especially those with an element of regional management.
If you have not delivered a poll with an element of regional co-ordination previously, you should consider how you can learn from the experiences of others who have carried out such a role.
You should have:
carried out a thorough evaluation of all processes outlined in your project plan for the previous election,
sought feedback from appropriate stakeholders, and
produced a lessons learnt document to inform the project plan and risk register for future electoral events.
The Commission has provided, as part of the template project plan, some sample objectives and suggested tools that will allow you to measure the extent to which the conduct of the election has been successful. The Commission has also provided an evaluation plan as part of the template project plan to assist you with the review process.
