Tokelau
Model of electoral management
Governmental
Comment
Electoral Law contains provision (6.1) about the appointment of a "committee for the purpose of organizing an election". No other sources are available about how elections are administered in the island. A news report mentions a "national electoral office" which run the 2020 elections. We assume the electoral management design in Tokelau looks more like governmental.
