Maldives: Final Report, Parliamentary Elections, Commonwealth Secretariat (2005)	This is a report published by the Commonwealth Expert team following the 2005 electoral observation mission in Maldives. The report briefly presents the political system of the country, and the pre-election events. The elections organization and management were marginally effected by the Tsunami, even though the reconstruction was not completed: it was a period of socio-economic change. The observation mission realized that freedom of expression and press was not respected. Great challenges undermined the success of these elections, like the lack of a multi-party system and a strong dominance of the government bodies. These elections were actually a part of a broader and ongoing institutional reforms process.
