The line – especially when the law is silent – between use and misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes concerns also human resources involved directly or indirectly in elections, insofar as their use would cause breach of the fairness commitment which should be the governing spirit of any electoral process. These resources are in particular the senior civil servants. These public officials are either politically appointed by political authorities (elected people or government) or issued by career from the Civil Service, i.e. issued from the non-political branch of the public administration. No matter their initial appointment (or promotion and position), these public officials should effectively, fairly and competently contribute in implementing policies with their knowledge and sound judgment.
