With only a few days remaining before holds its seventh general election, two diverging views exist: the government is praising the smoothness of the electoral process, while others label it a โ€œmockery.โ€ Ongoing pre-election activities imply that the election is a high priority for the Ethiopian government, perhaps more so than for any other stakeholder.

The National Election Board of Ethiopia ( ) reports that it is operating under intense budgetary strain, having already requested a 9.7 billion Birr supplement to its initial 10.8 billion Birr state budget.
