This article develops some basic analytical tools to advance comparative analysis and understanding of this neglected topic.  It conceptualizes electoral governance as a set of related activities that involves rule making, rule application, and rule adjudication.  it identifies the provision of procedural certainty to secure the substantive uncertainty of democratic elections as the principal task of electoral governance.  It argues that electoral governance, while socially  and institutionally embedded, matters most during the indeteminate conditions that typically attend democratization.  Finally, it outlines, a research agenda that covers the comparative study of the structures as well as the processes of electoral governance. - Reproduced.  aDemocracy  aPublic administration  aElections  aSchedler, Andreas  aInternational Political Science Review  a54588  c54588d54588  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 23, Issue no: 1pAR55033r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
