Election Law Reform in Yemen: Final Report on the Public Policy Dialogues, January 2004 – January 2005
While the 2003 parliamentary elections in Yemen were generally well-conducted and a significant improvement on previous elections, they demonstrated that amendments needed to be made to the election law to improve the impartiality and transparency of the electoral process and to deal with a number of omissions, procedural gaps and technical contradictions. These matters need to be addressed before the presidential and local council elections scheduled for 2006. In January 2004, IFES completed an in-depth analysis of Yemen’s election law, and identified five priority areas that need addressing before the 2006 elections: the statutory voter registration update schedule, dispute resolution mechanisms, the ballot counting venue, the process for appointing members of election Sub -committees, and local council election procedures. With the funding support of The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), IFES then launched the first phase of a public policy dialogue through a series of meetings with a broad range of stakeholders to discuss options for reforming the election law in each of the five priority areas. IFES’ report on this process was issued in August 2004. Phase Two of the election law reform dialogue took place between October 2004 and January 2005, with the funding support of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), using the same consultative process with a broad range of stakeholders as was used in Phase One. The discussions in Phase Two concentrated on a number of election law reform matters that were not discussed in Phase One, although inevitably there was some overlap. Stakeholders were also encouraged to raise other issues.
