Editor's Notes
- Welcome

- Given the critical role elections play in the stability and democratic process in countries that have them, it seemed a little strange to the members of the first Expert Advisory Group (a group of international electoral experts who provided the impetus for BRIDGE ’s development) that electoral administrators were often not treated as professionals. BRIDGE is seen a one way of addressing that and of helping create an electoral culture in the broader society Next slide

- The BRIDGE Project was born out of a meeting in Canberra in 1999 of international experts from around the world. The idea was to draw on the expertise of those who had worked in international elections and to use curriculum experts to turn those experiences in an engaging and informative curriculum. It was piloted with a small group of AEC staff in Melbourne in 2000 It was then implemented in the field in East Timor 2001-2 in the lead up to the Presidential and Constituent Assembly elections Next slide
