CENA: Training of polling agents launched this Tuesday in Cotonou
The Autonomous National Electoral Commission (CENA) began this Tuesday in Cotonou a training session for agents who will participate in the legislative and municipal elections on January 11, 2026.
This preparatory step aims to strengthen the technical and organizational skills of staff responsible for the smooth conduct of the vote.
The opening ceremony of the proceedings was held at the institution’s headquarters, in the presence of CENA officials and the trainers designated to oversee this activity.
It was marked by the presentation of the training objectives, focusing on a better mastery of electoral procedures and the tools for managing the process.
During the first day, participants were familiarized with several key modules, notably the roles and responsibilities of electoral agents, the different types of documents to be used, as well as the rules of conduct to observe in the field.
Une attention particulière a été portée sur les infractions électorales et leurs sanctions, afin d’assurer une application rigoureuse du cadre légal tout au long des opérations.
Les travaux ont également donné lieu à des échanges entre les formateurs et les stagiaires, permettant à ces derniers d’approfondir leur compréhension des textes et des pratiques qui régiront les différentes phases du processus électoral.
The stated objective is to equip each agent with the knowledge necessary to effectively carry out their duties in the offices and voting centers.
The training will continue until January 9, 2026, when participants will have completed all the programmed modules. Through this initiative, CENA aims to ensure a high level of professionalism and rigor among the actors responsible for administering the elections, in order to strengthen the transparency and credibility of the upcoming elections.
