With Puntland’s first ever one-person-one-vote (OPOV) elections approaching in October 2021, SSF produced a briefing paper, setting out essential information on what is going on, what to expect, and where challenges may remain. The paper details the

  • Progress to date
  • Electoral model and legal frameworks
  • Levels of popular and political support
  • Who are the contesting groups and key stakeholders
  • Aspects of gender and social inclusivity
  • Areas for further strengthening and support going forward.

The paper forms part of SSF’s wider body of work supporting sub-national democratisation and sits alongside research papers such as; Risks, Challenges and Opportunities of Sub-national Democratisation; Guidance Note – Gender, Social Inclusion and Sub-national Democratisation; and Sub-national Democratisation: Policy Steps, Processes and Considerations.
