      abstract = {The book will provide the first regionally widespread and  thematic look at African electoral systems and antecedent  issues such as electoral laws, gender, politics, violence,  and youth challenges in Africa. It will enrich the  discussion on four country-specific studies within a  general regional framework that explains and explores a  "home base" viewpoint of what occurs before, during and  after elections. The book will bring together a discussion  of diverse issues under one umbrella, which has never been  done before. This book begins a discussion from an  academic's and practitioner's view of elections,  contrasting the intellectual discussion with the author's  personal experience of practical realities on the ground.  Additionally, the book will create long-standing and  lasting literature that will compare elections in some of  Africa's leading democratic countries, such as Nigeria,  South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Sierra Leone. Emmanuel Saffa  Abdulai is Head of the Department of Law, Faculty of Law,  University of Sierra Leone. He is also a civil society  practitioner working on elections and leading coalitions.  He is a pro-democracy activist and was chair of the  Political Affairs Cluster of the African Union's Economic  Social and Cultural Council monitored several elections in  Africa. He led the legal review process of Sierra Leone's  election laws leading to the 2023 elections.},
