About the Organization

The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent, constitutionally mandated organization established under Article 102 of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. As the bedrock of Ethiopia’s democratic process, NEBE is entrusted with the monumental task of conducting free, fair, and impartial elections and referendums across the nation. With a sprawling organizational structure that includes federal and regional branch offices, as well as administrative city hubs, the Board serves as the ultimate guardian of the Ethiopian people's right to vote.

The vision of the NEBE is to build a robust electoral system that commands the trust of all citizens and political stakeholders. Since its massive reform in 2019 under Proclamation No. 1133/2019, the Board has transitioned into a more streamlined, professionalized management structure. This evolution is designed to ensure that the management board, consisting of five full-time members, can lead the nation toward a future where democratic values are upheld with the highest level of technical and ethical integrity.

At NEBE, our mission extends beyond the ballot box; we are dedicated to fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and civic engagement. By organizing multiple national and local elections, as well as historic referendums, the Board has consistently demonstrated its ability to manage complex logistical and political challenges. We contribute to the community by ensuring that every voice is heard and every vote is counted, thereby securing the peaceful transition of power and the stability of the federation.

The corporate culture within NEBE is defined by strict impartiality and professional excellence. Working here means joining a team of dedicated civil servants who operate with a profound sense of national duty. We emphasize an environment of collaboration where technical expertise meets ethical steadfastness. Our staff members are expected to remain politically neutral, ensuring that the Board’s independence is never compromised by partisan interests.

NEBE is a champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, recognizing that a representative workforce is essential for a credible electoral body. We actively seek to build a team that reflects the diverse tapestry of the Ethiopian people. We strongly encourage women and members of underrepresented groups to apply for these positions. By joining NEBE, you are not just taking a job; you are becoming a custodian of Ethiopia’s democratic journey.
