These tools and resources are designed to empower electoral management bodies and improve the ability to protect electoral processes even in dangerous situations. The framework features educational programs, self-assessment tools, and training curricula that can inspire electoral management practices and foster security.

The partnership with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Finland is crucial in delivering this project, as it provides valuable experiences and feedback to further develop the Pure Framework. The Institute’s work is expected to have significant impacts beyond the Finnish sector, contributing to global efforts in mitigating hybrid threats and enhancing electoral integrity in the face of increasing cyber threats and misinformation.
