Civil Society Organisation (cso) in Election Law

In a democracy, all persons have the right to participate in public affairs, including civil society activities and the right to freedom of association and to form and join civil society organisations. Such organisations play an essential role in democratic development through their ability to represent social interests, advocate policies, provide key services and undertake research activities, often from a non-partisan perspective. They also provide an important function of promoting accountability through their scrutiny of government activities.
