Elections

ODIHR observes elections across the OSCE region to assess the extent to which they respect fundamental freedoms, equality, universality, political pluralism, confidence, transparency and accountability.

Our work

A long-term, comprehensive, consistent and systematic election observation methodology has become the bedrock of ODIHR’s credibility in this field. 

The Office also supports authorities in their efforts to improve electoral processes and to follow up on recommendations from ODIHR election observation missions, by reviewing election-related legislation, providing technical expertise and supporting the activities of citizen observer groups.
