International IDEA and the Finnish Ministry of Justice organized a Protecting Elections Workshop in Helsinki, Finland, on 17-18 June. This event, the first since formalizing their partnership under the Protecting Elections project, brought together various national organizations to discuss electoral integrity challenges and solutions. Finland is a mature democracy with excellent track record in the organization of elections. The electoral management is the responsibility of a dedicated team within the Ministry of Justice, which—due to a wealth of knowledge and experiences—is considered an important project partner.
