IIEC has, in this respect, established a Risk and Compliance Department whose major 106 ELECTION SECURITY IN NIGERIA: MATTERS ARISING Security Challenges in Election Management: Towards Nigeria's 2011 Elections, “Case Study of security challenges in Kenyan Elections” task is to constantly and continuously assess and advice the Commission on security related matters. In Kenya, Political Parties by and large tend to follow a pattern of ethnic alignments. This state of affairs poses a great challenge in electoral security arrangements that IIEC has to cope with. It is worth mentioning that even the extant law governing conduct of campaigns is not full proof and requires reforms. IIEC is in consultation with all stakeholders to address this issue. 7.3 Security of Staff& Materials Election materials must be well guided from the time of their development to transportation and dissemination to the relevant stations. Election staff and providers of such services must also be guaranteed of their safety. With regard to production and development of materials, the Commission put in measures to ensure that strategic materials incorporate additional security features that can stand election fraud. For instance the ballot papers and the new voters' cards incorporated a hidden watermark with IIEC enhanced features that were only visible with an ultra violet light. Forms 16A and 17, forms used to declare results at the polling station and constituency tallying centers respectively, also incorporated these additional features for enhanced security. Unlike before, these forms contained pre-printed names of candidates as per the ballot papers and were also serialized. ELECTION SECURITY IN NIGERIA: MATTERS ARISING 107
