Philip N. Howard, an NDI election observer during Tunisia's recent elections, writes that the big story to take away from the first elections of the Arab Spring is that the election process was the biggest victory. Howard writes that, thanks to the use of digital media and other technology, there was a real effort to draw voters into the election process and to enfranchise them.
"Watching the elections as an official observer, I had the genuine sense that election administrators really wanted to enfranchise as many people as possible."
