The Importance of Electoral Justice and Elections

IGR speaks with Executive Director, Ibrahim Tommy, of the Center for Accountability and Rule of Law (CARL) on the often overlooked issue of electoral justice and its relationship to elections and democracy. Mr. Tommy unpacks the complex nature of electoral justice and how it transcends both formal and informal aspects of electoral politics to demonstrate that how electoral justice is carried out is as just as important as being able to access the judiciary in a speedy, transparent, and satisfactory manner. Furthermore, citizens must have trust with the justice system and electoral institutions or else the propensity for tensions and violence are more likely to arise.
