Early Parliamentary Elections, 30 September 2023

Following an invitation from the authorities of Slovakia and in accordance with its mandate, ODIHR has deployed an Election Assessment Mission (EAM) for these elections. 

The mission will assess the elections for their compliance with OSCE commitments and other international obligations and standards, as well as with national legislation. Specific aspects include the implementation of the legal framework, candidate registration, the campaign, political party and campaign finance, election dispute resolution, election media coverage and reporting of election results.

In line with ODIHR methodology, the EAM will not carry out systematic or comprehensive observation of the voting, counting and tabulation on election day. The ODIHR EAM members will, however, visit a small number of polling stations on election day.

A final report will be issued approximately eight weeks after the end of the electoral process.
