A CEP press note, dated August 31, 2026, on the close of a four-day training session on electoral disputes. The session ran from Thursday, August 27 to Sunday, August 30, 2026, at the initiative of the CEP legal affairs directorate, for members of the departmental electoral bureaus (BED) and communal electoral bureaus (BEC) of nine departments, the Ouest excepted.

The four days covered the prevention and handling of disputes at each stage of the process, from voter registration to the proclamation of final results, and the organization, operation and legal framework of the dispute body.

Case studies covered how to prepare submissions and how to ask the electoral judge to apply the legal and regulatory provisions. The note adds that sessions for electoral judges and lawyers began on Monday, August 31 and were to last three days.
