Nicaragua

Bringing the ballot to the people, 1984–1996

In the 1980s, Nicaragua established an inclusive and competent election administration system, carrying out two elections free of significant irregularities and significantly more accessible to voters than in neighboring El Salvador or Guatemala. It did so in difficult circumstances, similar to those found in its neighboring countries: a context of armed conflict, political polarization, economic crisis, and generalized poverty and illiteracy. This chapter examines the origins of Nicaragua’s inclusive election administration and the beginnings of its unraveling in the mid-1990s.
