National Election Board of Ethiopia Jobs Vacancy

National Election Board of Ethiopia

National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent organization established in accordance with Article 102 of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Since its establishment, the Board has organized different branch offices at both the federal and regional levels, including the two administrative cities. The NEBE has conducted five national elections, two local elections, and six referendums.

Since January 2019, in an effort to reform NEBE, the House of Peoples’ Representatives enacted a new proclamation that reduced the management board to five members who serve full-time for a period of six years. According to Proclamation No. 1133/2019, the board has the following powers and duties.
