Department coordinates the work of eight regional offices. All communication related to the election operation between HQ and Regional Offices is channelled through this department.

The key tool for communication to the field is the Daily Instruction, in which all official instructions and information to staff in the field is included. In addition, Field Operations compiles a list of outstanding issues and questions from all Regional Offices, which are distributed to relevant departments.

The Joint Election Operations Centre (JEOC) is an inter-agency and cross-departmental mechanism that has been set up to coordinate key aspects of the work of the JEMB Secretariat in regions and provinces. JEOC includes representatives of various departments; these components vary according to the stage of the operation. Key components include Field Operations, Support and Security. JEOC will be supplemented by representatives from Training and Public Outreach during relevant phases of the operation.

JEOCs will be replicated at the regional office level.
