Hargeisa – The Somaliland National Electoral Commission (NEC) recently hosted a high-level delegation at its headquarters, led by Ms. Louise Hancock, Head of the UK Government Office in Somaliland, and accompanied by Khadar Muhumed, Head of Political Affairs at the UK Office.

The discussions centered on exchanging updates and strengthening bilateral cooperation between the electoral body and the UK government. NEC officials briefed the delegation on the implementation roadmap for the modern Electoral Management Information System (EMIS), highlighting that the initial phase—a comprehensive feasibility study—will be launched by the Commission this week.

The Electoral Commission expressed its appreciation to the United Kingdom for its ongoing technical, financial, and institutional capacity-building support, which has been instrumental in advancing voter registration, electoral processes, and the broader democratic development of Somaliland.
