Electoral processes in Egypt during the arab spring and the role of international institutions in their accompaniment on the example of EISA in 2011–2012

The article examines the activities of the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA) in Egypt during 2011–2012 as an example of the participation of international and supranational structures in supporting the processes of democratization and political modernization of North African countries to ensure security and stability in the region during and after the revolutionary events of the Arab Spring. The purpose of the work is to determine the role of EISA in the transition of power carried out in the Egyptian state through electoral processes in the designated chronological period. Based on the results of the study, it is recorded that the Institute's field office in Cairo was engaged in organizational and analytical accompaniment aimed at ensuring the transparency and fairness of the ongoing parliamentary and presidential elections, as well as the constitutional referendum. The results of this activity were used, among other things, for making political decisions on the part of the African Union and the structures it supervises regarding Egypt and the processes of transition of power taking place in it.
