🌟 About the National Election Board of Ethiopia

The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent constitutional institution established under Article 102 of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia’s Constitution. Since its formation, NEBE has successfully conducted multiple national and local elections as well as referendums across the country.

Following its 2019 reform (Proclamation No. 1133/2019), NEBE’s structure was strengthened to ensure professionalism, neutrality, and efficiency. The restructured board now consists of five full-time members serving six-year terms.

The Board continues to play a key role in strengthening democratic governance, ensuring transparency in electoral processes, and enhancing citizen participation in Ethiopia.
