Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) had taken many initiatives in the past, especially since last decade, that strive to make the elections inclusive and gender friendly. However, in the absence of a clear Policy, the actions sometimes lacked coherence and were difficult to assess and evaluate. As an election management body committed to electoral justice, we take pride in doing our utmost to enhance and ensure fairness and transparency in all our processes. Therefore, it was high time we came up with a Gender and Inclusion Policy.
ECN measures the success of its inclusion by representation in proportion to the population of all groups, communities and classes in the whole of electoral process, i.e, as voters, as election administrators including security personnel and as candidates. This policy seeks to do just that.
