About the Organization
The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent, autonomous government institution established in accordance with Article 102 of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. As the bedrock of Ethiopian democracy, NEBE is tasked with organizing and conducting free, fair, and credible elections and referendums across the nation. Since its establishment, the Board has expanded its reach through numerous branch offices at both federal and regional levels, including the two administrative cities, ensuring every citizen’s voice can be heard.
Our mission is centered on transparency, impartiality, and the pursuit of democratic excellence. Since the significant reforms initiated in 2019, NEBE has transitioned into a leaner, more efficient management structure designed to uphold the highest standards of electoral integrity.
