The search for solutions to the above mentioned issues is not simple and the probability of reaching a solution suitable for the whole sub­region is small. Indeed, it is more possible that the characteristics of most aspects mentioned above depend on the specificity of each country – legal, administrative, territorial, political tradition, etc. – therefore, finding one model that will work everywhere may not be expected. Having noted this, it is nevertheless possible to point out factors that may help to identify good and bad examples. A good example: The Ghanaian electoral commission From the points of view we are interested in, the evaluation of the Ghanaian example will be done in two dimensions. The first dimension concerns the determination of the number of branches and their respective sizes; the second dimension concerns the structure of the relationship between these two different levels. Even if it is difficult to estimate the challenges which the current conditions are putting on the Ghanaian electoral process vis-à-vis the first dimension mentioned above, some aspects of the said process suggest that there should not be many challenges. To cite only a few examples, it is the rapidity with which the results of elections are declared. It is also the ease with which the electoral commission carried out its various tasks at every level of the electoral management.
