Who takes part in an election, and how is each voter\u2019s choice protected? Participants in this game answer these questions by playing the election through themselves.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The \u201cElectoral Model\u201d manual is designed for young people, first-time voters and civil society actors. Participants go through the full course of a parliamentary election, from campaigning and public debates to voting and counting the results. They play political parties, election commissions, observers, media representatives, proxies and voters. Along the way they face situations close to real life and look for solutions within the framework of electoral law.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The method draws on the \u201cModel UN\u201d and \u201cModel Armenia\u201d simulation games and on David Kolb\u2019s experiential learning model. Participants play first and then reflect on the experience together, which helps them turn theory into practical skills.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The manual includes everything needed to run the game:<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>role-specific reading materials,<\/li>\n<li>a detailed facilitator\u2019s guide,<\/li>\n<li>a baseline profile of the fictional state,<\/li>\n<li>templates for ballots, protocols and other election documents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Authors:<\/strong> Vahe Khachikyan, Arevik Navoyan<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The manual is available <a href=\"https:\/\/ngocarmenia-my.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/g\/personal\/info_ngoc_am\/IQAvhMmhSpXUTYzrwoEOtF_LAevO0ot_Rd2fRj8aGSNoeoA?e=IYjDkj\">here<\/a>.<\/strong> <em>(Available in Armenian only.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Developed by NGO Center Civil Society Development NGO with financial support from the New Democracy Fund (NDF).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6286,"template":"","class_list":["post-6285","hk_resource_center","type-hk_resource_center","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","hk_resource_center_type-publications-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngoc.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hk_resource_center\/6285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngoc.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hk_resource_center"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngoc.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/hk_resource_center"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ngoc.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ngoc.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
