In this context, the following were thus produced: en-

and members, copies of the decision to lay down the

In order to render polling stations effectively operatio-

up to the effective holding of the said election on 14

Accomplishing these activities proved a formidable

task, given that the Directorate General of Elections was
expected to comply with a legal and an inflexible orga-
nisational time-frame.

Nonetheless, steering these preliminaries to a suc-

cessful conclusion was essential to the conduct of pol-

is well-established.

Undeniably, Election Day reflects the maturity of the

electoral process. It is, first of all, the right time for conten-
ders to reap the fruits of their efforts and of their trust,
through the intermediary of voters. It also spells out an
opportunity for voters to exercise their right to vote while
trusting to their conscience. It finally, represents one of
the rare opportunities for voters to levy a positive, neutral
or negative sanction on the contenders, thanks to the
vote.

ven though the election of Senators held on 14 April
2013 in Cameroon mobilised a restricted electo-

cumbersome logistics, as compared to the Presidential
election of 9 October 2011, its organisation was not a
mean feat. In the organisation of elections, just like in the
accomplishment of any multi-dimensional and widely

• For future direct or indirect elections, it would be imperative

to set the opening hour at 8 (eight) a.m. and the closing hour
at 4 (four) p.m. In this way, vote counting operations may be
carried out between 4 (four) and 6 (six) p.m. while daylight is
still on.

• Election stakeholders, notably political parties and the Civil

Society, must train, educate and sensitise citizens-electors on
the electoral process, in view of the upcoming legislative and
municipal elections.

• The discrepancies in the Electoral Code mentioned above

deserve correction.

Having almost reached the end of the present report, it is

worth noting that a consideration of these proposals will enable
