The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR)
today announced the opening of its election observation mission for
the presidential election to be held in Armenia on 18 February.
The mission's deployment follows an invitation from the Prime Minister
of Armenia.
The mission is led by Ambassador Heidi Tagliavini and consists of 13
international experts based in Yerevan and 24 long-term observers to
be deployed throughout the country. In addition, ODIHR will request
250 short-term observers to monitor election-day proceedings and the
counting process.
Observers will assess the presidential election for its compliance
with OSCE commitments and other international standards for democratic
elections, as well as with domestic legislation. Observers will closely
monitor campaign activities, the work of the election administration
and relevant governmental bodies, election-related legislation and
its implementation, the media environment and the resolution of
election-related disputes.
As part of the observation process, the mission will meet with
candidates and representatives from relevant authorities and political
parties, as well as with representatives from the judiciary, civil
society and the media.
Short-term observers arriving for election day will be deployed
in teams of two throughout the country to monitor the opening of
polling stations, voting, the counting of ballots and the tabulation
of results.
A statement of preliminary findings and conclusions will be issued
on the day after the election.
ODIHR will issue a final report about two months after the end of
the electoral process.
