Beyond Casting the Ballot

This book is a critical analysis of the conduct of post-1995 elections in Uganda. Using an environmental approach, the book argues that elections management is strongly affected by the sociopolitical and legal environment within which elections are held. While the country is treading the path to democratic electioneering, and has, since the 2005 referendum, shifted to multiparty/multi-organisational political dispensation, improvement in the management of elections and ensuring a conducive socio-political, lego-constitutional and institutional environment within which elections are held are critical to the mitigation of extra-institutional elections fraud.
