Model of electoral management

Timor-Leste, Official Gazette, Law No. 5/2006, of December 28 Electoral Administration Bodies (as amended by Law 16/2021 on 28 July 2021) [in Portuguese], accessed 25 March 2022

Artigo 1. Órgãos da Administração Eleitoral

São órgãos da administração eleitoral:

a) A Comissão Nacional de Eleições, adiante designada por CNE;

b) O Secretariado Técnico da Administração Eleitoral, doravante designado por STAE; […]

STAE could be classified as ‘independent’ given it enjoys budgetary, technical and administrative autonomy. However, since it is part of a Government Department, ‘Governmental’ classification seems most appropriate.
