    Abstract

    In April and June 2014, Afghanistan conducted its first democratic transition of power. This commentary provides a first-hand account and appraisal of the conduct of the elections, and begins by capturing first the atmospherics of polling day, and then reviews some lasting impressions of the same. After identifying some of the common themes and strands that characterised the polling including, polling procedures, individual and/or team performances of election officials, logistical shortcomings, and the security measures put in place, etc. the commentary concludes by advocating for the continued improvement (best practices) of the electoral enterprise.
