Elections Observation Group (ELOG) is a long-term, permanent and national forum comprising of  Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) with the mandate of strengthening democracy in Kenya and the African Region by providing a sustainable platform for monitoring and observation of electoral processes. ELOG was established in 2010 to provide a non-partisan independent permanent platform through which citizens can observe elections.

The thematic areas of ELOG include voter education, voter registration, political parties and election campaign financing, electoral security, participation of special interest groups, media monitoring, electoral legal framework and electoral administration and management. ELOG is also a  part of the Uchaguzi platform. The Uchaguzi platform is made up of  organizations namely Mzalendo Trust, Transparency International, Constitution and Reform Education Consortium, Centre for Multiparty Democracy, Federation of women lawyers and the Electoral Governance Institute of Africa.

The main objectives of the Uchaguzi Platform are; to provide an engagement platform for information sharing and appraisal of progress on election-related dialogue, to build consensus and resolutions around the critical concerns impacting electoral reforms and to establish an inter-agency coordination platform to discuss and review progress  and build synergies on programmatic interventions to minimize duplication of efforts.

Currently, ELOG sits as the permanent Secretariat of The East and Horn of Africa Election Observers Network (E-HORN) which is a regional network of citizen election observer groups in the East and Horn of Africa. The E-HORN network’s founding members were drawn from 5 countries in the East and Horn of Africa region: Citizens’ Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda – CCEDU (Uganda), South Sudanese Network for Democracy and Elections – SSUNDE (South Sudan), Sudanese Group for Democracy and Elections – SuGDE (Sudan), Tanzania Election Monitoring Committee – TEMCO (Tanzania), Kenya Human Rights Commission – KHRC, and Elections Observation Group – ELOG (Both Kenya).
