Vacancy Announcement 2025
The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent constitutional body established under Article 102 of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. NEBE operates through federal and regional branch offices, including the two administrative cities.
