This training is often supported by civil society organizations and international institutions operating in Benin. ANEC has however no mandate to comment on the quality of an elector. Litigations concerning this issue are brought either before the Constitutional Court or before the Supreme Court. ANEC contributes to the provision of election logistics such as the transportations of ballot papers.
