In an era where electoral fraud and other forms of irregularities have become concerns for political actors and observers of political life in Africa, the maintenance of law and order in electoral operations has the advantage of ensuring the sincerity and transparency of the vote. In this respect, in the order of special administrative police, it is necessary to emphasize the electoral administrative police. Unexplored in doctrine, it clearly emerges from the legislative production relating to elections. From this point of view, the specificity of the administrative electoral police lies in the fact that it derogates from the common law regime of public freedoms affecting electoral operations in relation to the regime applicable to them in the general administrative police. Moreover, at the organic level, this specificity is reinforced by the interference of special election management authorities in the exercise of administrative police missions.
