Website: Electoral Risk Management Tool (ERMTool)

The Electoral Risk Management Tool (ERMTool) is designed to empower people to ensure peaceful and credible elections. Intended users are electoral management bodies, security sector agencies, civil society, and other state and non-state actors. The ERMTool aims to build the user’s capacity to understand, analyze, and mitigate electoral risks. The ERMTool can build users’ capacity to understand electoral risk factors, collect and analyze risk data, design prevention, and mitigation strategies, and record the results of actions. The tool consists of three integrated parts. Election commissions and non-profit organizations can obtain a copy of the ERM Tool’s software by requesting the download key from International IDEA.
