Independent National Electoral Commission Guidelines for the Registration of New Political parties 2014

Independent National Electoral Commission, Nigeria

The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) gender policy is a response to the National Gender Policy (2006) and Vision 20:20 (2009) which recognize that gender equality and women’s empowerment are basic human rights that lie at the heart of equitable development and which call on all state and non-state actors to promote gender equality through their institutional practices and policies. This policy therefore seeks to encourage and expand the participation of all in the political and electoral spaces. It demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to the goal of deepening Nigeria’s democratic experience by outlining measures that can collectively be taken to ensure that the participation of nearly half of the population of the country in its affairs is broadened.
