The misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes can threaten some of the basic requirements of a democratic constitutional state. The balance of powers and freedom of opinion must be guaranteed and promoted by parliament in its role as a legislator supervising the government, by the government in its executive role, by an independent judiciary and by free media and opinions. Moreover, a body independent from government and political structures could be in charge of tackling the misuse of administrative resources, according to the practice established for equivalent independent bodies in the countries. The format of an inter-agency, as set up in Georgia for instance, seems to be an interesting approach, bearing in mind that such a body does not have a judicial dimension. It is logically associated to electoral commissions – and in particular to the central electoral management body – and courts dealing with electoral matters. Nevertheless, the political will of the highest state authorities to ensure free, fair and balanced elections remains a key factor. Without such a will, widely shared among political stakeholders, establishing an independent body that monitors the use of administrative resources during electoral processes may remain a superficial initiative.
