The Nauru Electoral Commission (NEC) is the body which oversees elections in Nauru.
Before the NEC, Nauruan elections were administered by the chief secretary, who was a political appointment by the president.[1] The NEC was established in March 2016, after parliament passed the Electoral Act. Shortly after its establishment, the NEC was provided with technical assistance from the Commonwealth of Nations ahead of the 2016 parliamentary election.[1][2] Joseph Cain was first appointed Electoral Commissioner.[1] He served from 2016 to 2020. His successor, former deputy electoral commissioner Sylvana Deireragea was appointed in 2020.[3] David Detudamo was appointed as commissioner on 12 February 2025.[4]
