National Authority of Elections
The Autorité nationale des élections is the independent body responsible for organizing, supervising, and managing elections in the Central African Republic. It oversees presidential, legislative, and local elections, as well as voter registration and the publication of results.
The ANE was established under the 2013 transitional charter and later reaffirmed by the 2016 Constitution of the Central African Republic to ensure the independence and transparency of the country’s electoral process. It functions as a permanent national institution charged with the preparation and conduct of all elections and referendums.
Leadership
The current president of the ANE is Maître Mathias Barthélemy Morouba, appointed in 2024 for a seven-year term. The ANE includes several commissioners responsible for key areas such as electoral operations, logistics, civic education, finance, and legal affairs.
