The Commonwealth Observer Group

The Commonwealth Observer Group is a team of representatives from various member countries of the Commonwealth, assembled to monitor and assess how elections are conducted in a particular nation. Their role is to ensure that elections are free, fair, transparent, and peaceful. They observe voting procedures, voter turnout, and the overall electoral process, then provide an impartial report to help promote confidence in the election and suggest ways to improve future elections. Their presence reassures both the host country and the international community that democratic standards are upheld.
