Board of Elections
I have been a certified translator for 17 years and used to translate the term very literally too. However, I always wondered what are its exact duties and functions.
Today, I searched and found that Article 120 of the Political Constitution of Colombia says: -La Organización Electoral está conformada por el Consejo Nacional Electoral, por la Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil y por los demás organismos que establezca la Ley. Tiene a su cargo las elecciones, su dirección y vigilancia, así como lo relativo a la identidad de las personas-. Summarizing, this means it is in charge of directing/supervising the elections while also taking care of identity matters.
In the US election system, the Board of Elections does pretty much the same thing.
