election observation missions
Election observation missions are organized groups of independent experts and representatives from various countries or organizations that monitor elections to ensure they are fair, transparent, and conducted according to legal standards. They assess the process—from voter registration and campaigning to voting, counting, and results announcement—identifying any irregularities or violations. Their goal is to promote confidence in the electoral process, support electoral integrity, and provide recommendations for improvement. Observation missions help strengthen democratic practices by providing an impartial assessment of whether elections truly reflect the will of the people.
