Holly Ruthrauff

I have worked in the field of election observation and assistance for the past 12 years. As an Election Adviser for the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights in Warsaw I organized 14 international election observation and assessment missions, including to the Russian Federation, Macedonia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Italy, Ireland and Bulgaria. Prior to that I worked at the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), where I provided capacity building assistance and developed resource materials for domestic non-partisan election observer groups. Currently I am a freelance elections consultant based in London. Most recently I participated on the EU Election Observation Mission to Bhutan where I was legal/electoral expert.
