International IDEA’s Electoral Risk Management Tool (ERM Tool) is developed to strengthen users’ capacity to address political, technical, logistical and legal risk, with an emphasis on prevention and mitigation of election-related violence. Integrated into a software application, the ERM Tool provides three interactive modules (learn, analyze, act) which can be used in combination or as standalone resources. It builds the user's capacity to understand electoral risk factors, develop situational awareness, design prevention and mitigation strategies and record results of actions for future reference.   Gender sensitivity is embedded in all modules

Following  the global launch of the ERM Tool in October 2013 over 40 organizations from 30 countries worldwide, including inter-governmental organizations and diverse national state and non-state actors such as election management bodies (EMBs), civil society organizations, non-government organizations, political parties, development agencies and academic institutions, have been granted a free-of-charge license to download and use the ERM Tool.

Since piloting the ERM Tool during local and national elections in 2012 and 2013, both the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Independnet Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of Kenya are continuing to make use of the ERM Tool in the consequent  by-elections (Kenya) and  national elections (B&H).  Furthermore, the Election Commission of Nepal (ECN), which used the Tool during the 2013 Constituent Assembly,  will continue its use during the June 2014 by-election. In Nigeria, the Indepenene National Election Commission (INEC) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the African Union (AU) and International IDEA to make use of the Tool during the 2015 General Elections.
